As per the title, I have a pair of these, spooled them up ad noticed the line lay is come shaped with the widest point towards the front of the spool.
How can i overcome this? It's almost as it the spool does not go far enough forward in travel.
Thanks in advance Carpforum massive

You need to add a spool washer

OK, any idea of thickness and where to buy please mate?

Edit to add, it looks like the spool needs to travel about 1 ti 1.5mm further forward

Shimano reels usually come with them in the box (if you bought the reels new).

Funny story: I watched a youtube unboxing video for Ultegra 5500XTD and the guy threw away the bag with the washers along with the instructions etc.

Bought new, but no washers, unless I inadvertantly chucked them lol

You've likely chucked them, they come with them. You'll have to ask a tackleshop to order you some

these are clip on spools as opposed to drag knobs
Example spool,

you can put a very small o ring on the shaft were the spool clips down on for a little lift.

I think the front of the spool unscrews around the push button, that shiney bit with the recess lugs each side and there are adjustment shims within the click mechanism to move the mechanism up and down within the spool thus moving the spool up or down on the shaft

failing that take them back

Thanks mate, I'll have a look at them later

In reply to Post #7
Had a look.
Anyone have any idea the best way or tool to use to get the push button endcap off?
Or anyone close to Bath who might be able to have a look at them
Can't take them back, bought them a couple of years ag now lol
Any help much appreciated guys
