Hi,
I have decided to do a bit of Piking until the weather gets more warmer !
So I got out my old Shimano XTEA 10k's to put some braid on.
After I spooled them up, the first one is front heavy, What I mean is the braid was full to the front lip yet the braid had not spooled the lower part of the spool. It looks like a cone shape.
I know its to do with the washers inside, I have one larger one, two smaller ones and a spring to pop the spool off.
What I want to know please is the running order so the braid goes on the spool straight. I cannot find the instructions or anything about the reels schematics online to redress the situation.
Can anyone help please ??
Cheers Neal.

There's a video on YouTube that Terry Edmunds did showing what to do with the washers. I'll try and find it.

Cheers but my Shimano XTEA 10k spools are not the same type of spool.

The theory should be the same. You either take away a washer or you add a washer to level off the line lay.

What surprised me with that video was that it needed six/seven washers to reverse the cone.
New reels seem to come with two at most.
I suppose each model is different though.
I am fortunate in that I can fabricate washers but many will have to source them from the manufacturer.
