@@TerryEdmondsUkIve just reloaded my technium mags. Been wondering why I’ve a gap at the base of the spool. The technium has one washer at present. Then 5 different thickness washers in the pack. Should I just put them all on. Wish I had watched this first. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Had to come back to give you a like. I stumbled on your video by luck, I always thought the extra washers were for replacements only. I did notice my backward taper but had no idea why it spooled this way. Took all my line out this morning, added 4 more washers, total of 6 and I got a lovely forward taper now which is awesome, thank you very much for your video. The downside now however is that I could have slightly more line on the spool.
Fantastic!!!!...... I watch sooo many carp videos and propably only learn something on the odd occasion but this video taught me something I didn't even know about! Thanks Terry! I'm gonna get playing right now lol
Terry, so glad I found this video, it is brilliant. I have 2 5500's and wasnt sure about the washers. after seeing this, both spools were reverse (thicker at the top). So I added 3 washers each and bam, perfect! Thank you for all your time and effort sir.
Nice one fella… informative stuff.. been carp fishing for 40 years I did know the washers were for spool spacing & adjustment in case the line didn’t lay properly, but in all honesty I didn’t know about using washers to make line tapers 👍🏻
Been away from Carp fishing for around 5-6 years. I'm perplexed by just how many new players have their own brand reels and rods and they all look good. Apart from the trusted Shimano and Daiwa reels are there any others that deserve a look at? And great video I've actually learnt something new today so thank-you! 😎
I've bought the ultegra I've been using multiplyers since I was 15 for shore fishing, but decided to try a fixed spool....I'm going to try your suggestion. Thanks for sharing the video
Yet again pal another really good video.. Helpful once again.. I will defo be getting in touch with you once I have some spear money for some lessons in casting. My cast is 110 yards at the moment with 15lb subline.. Straight through no shock leader
What a great video thanyou I'm just stuck on getting the washers have you a link to get those smaller washers , all I can find are ice washers Thanks in advance
Mate I’ve been fishing for a long time but never had the line taper explained so well. I’ve got Basia’s and emblem spods that need adjusting. Where would you find the right amount of washers to apply? Or just trial and error?
Hi Terry hope you’re well will you consider coming again in Romania for couple of days for the carp anglers that are respecting your work and they’re anctios to learn amd see you in action, cheers buddy
Most important thing with braid on spod reels is keeping the braid tight and keeping the braid under the lip. So I wouldn’t I prefer level and the braid a few mm below the lip. This stops wind knots 🙏
You are a top bloke. My ultegra ci 14 xtb came with 2 thin washers on the reel 2 thin and 2 thick in the box. What would you recommend.any help id be gratefull.great vids.and your casting vids.thanks👍
@@raw0302 i ended up using the 2 thicker and 3 of the 4 thinner, and spooling just under the lip. Only had 1 issue with 1 when put to much line on.my own fault.
Hi Terry, it's been quite a while since I had a casting lesson with you, money well spent! Question on the washers/taper: Does the number of washers change depending on the diameter of line change you're using i.e. thing diameter+leader versus thicker level line?
@@TerryEdmondsUk So what have you found to be optimal for both thicker level-line casting/fishing AND thin mainline+leader, in what situation does one fewer/more washer work better? Obviously I'm talking about setting up spool taper relative to casting impact, once you go thicker than 0.42mm I'm guessing distance isn't necessarily your top priority anyway?
How many washers would already be on your desk for a even taper ? Looking forward to the spilling up as like you said it's made complicated and lots of companies giving advice.Thanks Terry
Terry good video mate iv just bought new reels and iv put washers on the way you have,by the way do you use ice washers and if your casting distance using braid as a main line what thickness braid would you say is a good and safe diameter.
Don’t use ice washers but have friends that do and they like them. Regarding diameter of braid I use 0.29mm to 0.32mm for leader material so I would say down to 0.25mm you would be quite safe 👍
Great video Terry, I'm just about to spool up my new ultegra xtc spod reel, its come with two washers one is slightly thicker than the other, should I add any more?
Hi Terry I have the Shimano ultegra xtd 14000 how many washers are in a new reel and how many washers to put in for straight line lay with out taper line lay
Hi Terry.. Could you please give me a good knot to tie my mainline to my shock leader please as I am worried about it catching as it passes through the eyes cheers.. I did have fox warrior tt 3.5tc with 50mil butts but now have century ng 12ft 3.5tc with 40mil butts... Don't know if I should have just kept with the fox rods or carry on with the centurys
Hi terry thanks for vid. On my 5500 ci4 people say on forums it’s over spooled. But I want the line lay like yours will 6 washers work on 5500 just like your 14000? Cheers
I got obsessed with line lay did my head in have now switched to the emblem 45 less fussed. Had the 12000xtb mags they had different thickness spacers could get the taper finely adjusted but the .35 and above lines would obviously change the taper and line lay. Do the new shimano's come with only one thickness spacers now its the same on daiwa 45s out the box no changes level line lay. Keep the info coming tel gets boring people not reading your previous posts on casting. 🙄
The washers that come with the kits are 3 different thicknesses. Did you use 6 thin ones or 6 thick ones or 3 three thin and three thick or 2 medium 2 thin and 2 thick ones as the thick ones are twice as thick as the thin ones
I have a midweek ticket & socially distanced cuppa is always on offer when I am there👍🏻 If you see a black Toyota C-HR in the car park, then I am there. Everywhere there is a simple underarm cast for you! 93m is furthest cast to far bank 😂
Just off my phone mate. Haven't got time to play around. I will leave that to film makers. Barely got time to record this. It is what it is 😁✌️ I'm definitely not buying videoing equipment 😂😂 I'm keeping it real Maybe my upgrade will be better 🤷♂️ Think it's the artificial light to be honest
Every days a school day. My days can’t believe I’ve just grasped this. Thanks.

My pleasure mate, pleased you have the correct taper my friend 😁
I especially liked the part where you taught us how to count 7 washers out 😂
Jokes aside, very informal video, thank you 👍
Can’t be a clearer than that 😂

Great vid Terry, every day is a school day.
My pleasure mate
brilliant advice
Hi Terry, great video. Do the line reducers have an impact of the taper? Do you use the line reducers?? Thanks Stuart
well done mate a very good interesting video
I love the line reducers you get with most shimano reels I fine they improve the line lay by miles.
Awesome video mate. I fish big pits all the time and casting distance is a big part of it. Never even used those washers before tbh
Hi Terry hope you’re well will you consider coming again in Romania for couple of days for the carp anglers that are respecting your work and they’re anctios to learn amd see you in action, cheers buddy

Whay line are you using please as the line lay is incredible
Standard on the reels mate you can play with the washers to get your tapers right
In the shimano aero technium you put in 2? Is that the thicker washers? Cheers Dennis

Just respooled the Crosscasts from Daiwa, and they spool right from the box. No need for washers for mono.
Great video Terry,
I'm just about to spool up my new ultegra xtc spod reel, its come with two washers one is slightly thicker than the other, should I add any more?
Should be level with braid that will be perfect maybe 1 extra ✌️
Daiwa Emblem 45 SCW QD opinion for long range fishing? Nice vid btw 🎣
Do everything you need mate
Hi Terry I have the Shimano ultegra xtd 14000 how many washers are in a new reel and how many washers to put in for straight line lay with out taper line lay
Hi great and very interesting video .
I noticed that some of the washers were of different thickness???
Yeah you get thick and thin. No reel is exactly the same but the same rules apply mate

Can you adjust the number of washers on a spool already loaded with line or do you have to do it before you load the line?
Nice tool from Katran , they have prety good mono as well im using them three years now
Yeah I've had other ones but really like this. Mono is decent 👍

So if line is more at top add washers if more at back take washers off
Thank you.

All mine were the thin ones mate. All the same in the ultegra box 👍
But a thick one and thin ones in my mag box. Have an experiment mate 😁
@@TerryEdmondsUk 👍👍👍👍😁😁
Hello, what type of mono you use Here? Im asking for this „khaki” green line
Do you know how many would a penn spinfisher 7500lc take for a slight taper??
No but usually they are level out of the box. So maybe add one and see. Trail and error but once it’s done it’s done
Hey, can i ask u what type of line u use? Im ask for this Khaki green line
When are we going to see you over on Pumphouse, Terry?

@@OliverQueen1974 that's fine mate I'm just an angler that can cast lol
What reel is that it needs 6 whashers to give to the line a conical alignment ???
Ultegra Ci4 14000
You should add them dependind on the line you use, if you use a 0.25mm or a 0.40 mm will not stay the same on your bobin
How many washers would u put on for a speedmaster 1400 terry
I will look on mine mate
TerryEdmondsLRA thank u I have put 4 on them
Mine are second hand shimano reels no box
Guys iv got some xtea 5000 with a terrible top end taper and have no idea what washers I need, can anyone help?
You need a few more on
Just done mine 👍xtd 1400 added 2 thin plus 1 slightly thicker. Think thats about max
