The Beginners Question – Which tackle…..

[*Ant*]

If it looks like either i'd suggest you invest in a new reel!

 

Sorry Budgie couldn't resist.

Urrrrrr......i dont mean to be funny but somewhere between! Not as full as B but not as empty as A. I would say closer to B if anything!

 

Just to check i put it on correctly. I got my mate to hold the lien through a pen, thread it through a few eyes and reeled it on. !!??!

 

There seems to definately be a problem right. The weight of the float and leads should make it fall, but its almost sticking !!??!!

What size line have you put on and have you a same size spare spool for your reel?

 

Ant, Up yours! I will have you know there is nowt wrong with my drawing....I am a Government Artist after all!

I have put on 3.2lb float fishin 100m drennan line.

 

With regards to the spools, they look identical in deapth...the only difference being what i am going to call the coller, the side to the left of both your drawings, ie the left side that the line is pushing against. On one spool this is almost like a metal washer, on the other spool the coller (side) is just molded plastic! Dunno what makes the difference!! Maybe this is effect my casting, its surely not my technique
