Shakespeare omni x F50 reel

[saladdodger]

Not sure if this is the correct section but i'll ask away.

Great reel, smooth and nice to use but i found my line on the spool become very lose and gets caught under the spool bottom on casting.

Any idea why?

Also whilst taking the spool off there is a tiny spring inside that keeping unhooking itself, i cant see any difference when its attached or not???

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

Andy

Line problem might be due to line quality - some lines are very prone to "coiling" and come off the spool when not under tension.What line are you using?

That spring is probably part of the clicker mechanism on the drag,it makes the noise as the spool is turning against the drag when a fish is taking line and as such is not an essential part of the reel.

Hi, the line is shakespeare 3lb black line, yes your right it coils very badly?

Im gonna check to see if i can attached the spring again but if its not essential then i wont worry.

dodge dont fill spool too full and cheap line is rubbish its like casting wire i use drennan on my course stuff, best for sea fishing carp and pike for me is berkley big game ,,have you tried okuma reels mate now they are mega good value i got 3 nitrix multies abu 6000 size great for casting and bullet proof the coarse reels top seller across the pond

interesting you say 'like wire' - the wire like line im struggling with in 2lb, i bought some new 6lb line today and it really nice thin line, why is heavier line thinner in this case. weird

i'll check out the reel you suggested dude, cheers

personally i believe that maxima 3lb line is ideal for my general river fishing etc. superb line.

[chazyboi]

the heavy line is thinner cos its better quality

[saladdodger]

cheers peeps

I'll second that.... Daiwa Sensor is good stuff for the price too.
