I think it's important to point out that many Daiwa spinning reels are meant, designed to have a reverse taper line lay. It's called ABS or ABS II. So if you have a Daiwa with that, don't shim your reel if it has a reverse taper - you're good to go!
@@NoName-yi3oz Google Daiwa ABS or ABS II or take a look at 6:47. That spool has a line lay with "reverse taper". A level line lay would be a line evenly distributed on the spool. Most modern Shimanos should be like that (carp spinning reels aside) Many Daiwa LT reels with ABS II does however have a "reverse taper" design. Generelly, if you have issues with line management on any spinning reel it might be s good idea to shim the reel, add or remove a tiny spacer on the spool shaft in order to change the line lay to improve line management.
Hello happy Monday I always enjoy seeing your videos 🎣👍🏼 thank you very much for this video I didn't know about this with spinning reels those shims that came with my spinning reels I just threw them away because I didn't know what they were for
it depends on how bad the tapering is. In my case with the vanquish (and probably majority of the reels out there) I only needed one spacer, since the line lay isn't that bad.
Thank you for your video, do you have an idea on how to deal with uneven spool that is curved in the middle? The top and the bottom spool is even but the middle is somehow curved in. I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏽
Any recommendations on how to fix line lay that is an hourglass shape? I have one reel were the line is thicker on both ends but thinner in the middle. I tried using the shims but it couldn’t fit it.
Did you say that the solution is to REMOVE spacers? I thought you would have to ADD spacers so the spool is physically higher on the shaft and more line is wound closer to the bottom (evenly) on the spool. Thanks!
@@jayfranco9969f you have other reels, see if you have shims in their box to use after some modification if needed. Or have a look at the shim in your reel (it should have say one or two) and make one on your own, it's a thin piece of plastic, not hi-tech.
When i watch on phone you are too quiet to hear, when i watch on tv there is too much bass in ur voice. So yea, fix that, add more mid high tone on equalizer when you edit videos
I have been filming with a phone, before this, it was a proper studio set up, which...I need to tidy up a bit Was testing a new mic with the phone so I could use to film as a back up outdoors, I still need to figure it out. Honestly, Fishing in general isn't a cheap hobby to start with - you can make it cheaper and there are alternatives - I mostly use mid end gear, just that most are JDM. There are lots of alternative from Asia for rods (which are quite good - like storm rods for slow jigging). This hobby can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be.
@@TheFishingKit if you are croatian guy like me and if you want to try all methods, it is very expensive. Light spin rod, heavy spin rod, squid rod, shore jigging rod, inchiku rod, fast jigging rod, slow jigging rod, trolling rod, + small slow spin reel, big slow spin reel, small fast spin reel, big fast spin reel, + multiplicator jigging and trolling reels haha. PLUS, all those artificial lures which are lost forever in the sea, my god. Minnows, Jerkbaits, crankbaits, deep divers, stickbaits, twitchbaits, wtd, wtd poppers, poppers, big cup poppers, casting spoons, casting jigs, narrow slow jigs, wide slow jigs, narrow fast jigs, wide fast jigs, inchiku and kabura. AND ALL OF THEM, in minimally two sizes and two colors haha. Im not even mentioning, soft plastic and egi lures haha. In croatia we have a saying, actually its the ultimate fishermans wish and dream, it goes like this: "when i die, i hope that my wife doesnt sell my gear for the price i told her that i bought it for" haha

I am not too familiar with Daiwa tech, so this might be useful to daiwa users out there so thanks for your contribution, Anders!
Yeah my line has a little more at the back than front is that normal?
This is correct!
What is reverse tapper? Tnx

Glad you enjoyed it
@@TheFishingKit yup 👍🏼 I did my friend I whent pier fishing today I Cached 2 mackerel fish 👍🏼 it was a fun day fishing 🎣
Wow nice!!!
@@bicalijd_pierfishing9652 good going! I miss pier fishing...been a while for me.
Thanks
Hey kit, how many shim or spacer you usually put to make the line perfectly distributed on the spool?
it depends on how bad the tapering is. In my case with the vanquish (and probably majority of the reels out there) I only needed one spacer, since the line lay isn't that bad.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks kit, im using shimano reel aswell might have to put one on my reel.
Try with one first....in most cases it fixes it. IF not, then put on another one. but start with one.
Thank you for your video, do you have an idea on how to deal with uneven spool that is curved in the middle? The top and the bottom spool is even but the middle is somehow curved in. I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏽
That's normal on some reels.
@@ged1327 I have seen that, it's more common on cheaper reels.
What if you have a mass produced reel that came with the rod from a big box store? What can you use for a spacer?
you can try looking for reels of the same make that are broken and use spacers from there. gear of that level...kinda not really worth it...
Ok I do not the shims, can you get an assortment somewhere for different reels.
@@keithlogsdon9089 has to the shims from the same reel, look for someone with the same reel then ask for the spare shims, most times they go unused
Any recommendations on how to fix line lay that is an hourglass shape? I have one reel were the line is thicker on both ends but thinner in the middle. I tried using the shims but it couldn’t fit it.
if the middle is the problem, then take all the shims off and check each of them, there might be one in there that is warped.
Did you say that the solution is to REMOVE spacers? I thought you would have to ADD spacers so the spool is physically higher on the shaft and more line is wound closer to the bottom (evenly) on the spool. Thanks!
I said, if it tapers down you add a shim, if it tapers up (bunching up on the bottom of the spool) you need to take a shim out.
I don’t have any shims on my reel and my line is still tapering.. I’m lost

Thanks for the feedback. will work on that.
@@TheFishingKit older videos are great, only few latest videos are like this. Anyways, great content. Tho, only for jet-set sportmen.

That's a problem for a lot of fishermen :) As I said, there are ways, and I managed to find mine. Tight lines and good luck on your journey!
