Saintly Fish Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 How do you stop this happening?? There is mono backing on this spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Has the line possibly slipped on the spool ? do you have mono backing under the braid. The braid looks loose quite deep into the spool. Edited January 8, 2023 by JDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The braid looks loose quite deep into the spool. Yes there is mono backing, and it was under a fair bit of tension when I wound it on.

JonC Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Next trip out put a float on with a wait then trot the hole lot down tide and retrieve it under a real resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Not enough tension…. Braid needs loads to sit on the spool, it’s still fine to use as-is mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captin slows old outlaw Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 i was told to trout it out along way then real it back in. by the time you have picket up sewed , it should be tight . that is what i was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Might be particular to spool width/diameter and line diameter and then the level wind if it isn't happening lower in the spool. Could you put more or less mono backing on and try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Other option is to not cotton reel it and try and move the braid accross the spool faster so that the braid crosses itself and then it doesn’t dig in as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Not sure I can be bothered to take the lot off and then put it all back on again. It was really a question to try and avoid it for the next respool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, the braid has become loose, which means that even with level wind, it will 'dig in' under tension. I would guess that the mono has probably bedded down, causing the braid to loosen. If it were me, then I would rip it off and re-spool with fresh braid, I buy spectra in 1000m spools, so the cost would be negligible. As @JonC say's, run the line off the stern with an 8oz weight on the end and then and wind back on. Doing that, you have nothing to lose, provided you tied a decent mono to braid knot.

Well ok if next time I'm out I find myself with a break in the fishing, I'll let it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh that’s savage. You cood just send her a link to what you need and get it ordered? While you’re involving her, why not get her to spool the reels up, would do a better job than you from what I’ve seen.
