Reel Spooling Issues

[zippyFX]

Hi,

The problem I have is that sometimes when spooling new line onto a a reel I notice that the line does not seat evenly across the spool of the reel. Specifically if seems to spool more line at the back of the spool leaving it higher than the rest of the line across the spool. This impacts the amount of line I can put on the spool because it will run high early. Additionally at the front of the spool there is little line spooled and sometimes a gap been the line spooled and the wall of the spool.

I have has this specific issue twice and I am wondering if it is (i) something I am doing wrong (ii) a problem with the discount reels I pick up (Shakespeare Bass Combo first time, Rapala Husky this time) (iii) an issue with the line I am using (spiderwire braid the first time, fireline this time) or (iv) just some sort of reel problem.

I was looking for an adjustment for the bail to see if I can get to extend it's reach but I could not find any. This does not happen on all my reels but I have seen it on two now. The first rodd may have had damage but the second one is brand new.

Just wondering......
