Any tips to correct my spools as the line has loaded unevenly.

Line is loaded with a bias towards the bottom of the spool.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure the spools are seated properly, one of mine was uneven when I first spooled up but after removing and refitting the spool it was fine . Never had that happen on any other reels ,or the other pair I have. Failing that you need to remove one of the spool washers

As said need to make sure the washers are correct in numbers and that they are located properly on the spindle.

As with all long come spools they have a tendency to move on the spindle.

The line lay is faultless with these so must be this IMO

As I have understood for many years if you want to optimise the casting performance of a fixed spool reel the line should be loaded with a with a forward taper so there will be more line on the bottom of the spool. This reduces the friction of line on line during the cast.
