Full Version: Line working it's way into the spool mechanism

Hi All,

My son's line is getting regularly pulled into the spool mechanism from the back of the spool. I am thinking it has to do with him have some slack line around the reel after he attempts failed hook setting or just reeling in too quick.

I have had this happen to me occasionally but it's more common for him. I picked up a new reel for him as he currently has a gimmicky light up reel that he has out grown.


Just trying to figure out what's going on... 'cause you know kids have lots of patience for line correction during a fishing session...
?

spinning reel I suppose.....?

type of line? (mono or braided)

what pound test?

freshly spooled? or old line from closet?

problem during casting lures?........ or when bait fishing?

is anti-reverse engaged?

is reel compatible with first guide size & spacing to reel rotor?

beer is not involved?

Yes.... Low cost kids reel. I have two of them but this only occurs on one.

8-10# mono;

8-10 pound mono; The kids reel came persppoled for our pleasure with 2 lbs test.... Kids and 2lbs test don't work well; Peeled off all the line on the rods and replace with 8 or 10 lb mono (can not remember which); Some days I am tempted to give them 15 or 20# Tongue

It was freshly spooled 2 years ago. No major signs on memory in the line.

Bobber with splitshot and worm.

I take great care, and pride, in stringing together loquacious, superfluous and quite unrelated fishing jargon,....... and have found that at times it actually makes sense and fools many......... I think…. Perhaps…

Your answers clearly reveal all – the root cause & problem is obvious - you'll need to get a new son.

Tip – don’t take him hunting.

0r……………. just watch him next time for a short while – my guess is that he’s letting slack loops get in behind the rotor cup and it’s getting caught up in the swirly thingee.

I had a talk with my son and he refuses to go. He seemed offended that I asked. My wife has stopped talking to me.

I will keep an eye on his line slack and keep it away from the swirly thingee.

Thanks.

No problem, happy to be of assistance.
