Line working it's way into the spool mechanism - zippyFX - 06-22-2017 01:02 PM
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?

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#

Bobber with splitshot and worm.

not sure what this means.... Did you just string together some fishing jargon

That comes after (for me not the kids
)

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.
Cheers,

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.
