Hey guys, I've noticed that the line on my reel is uneven. Is there any way to fix this?

Re: Line on reel uneven
I've got a reel to fix with the same, but, worse problem
The spool is not going up and down as it should, mine doesn't move at all.
You will need to pull the reel apart and get to it's guts, to see what's wrong
I haven't looked at mine yet, so you can be the trailblazer, how hard can it be.

Re: Line on reel uneven
You should have got a couple of spool adjustment washers in the box with the reel. From memory when the line lay is in that direction you add a washer to the shaft but I could have it the wrong way around and you need to take a washer off the shaft

sienna reels dont come with additional washers, but if you email shimano and mention line lay problems, they should send you out some.

I unspooled it and respooled it with more tension this time, it seems to have fixed he problem!

Re: Line on reel uneven
sometimes if its a one off issue it can be because bail arm was not fully closed when it was wound on.
