PressuredFishing Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 So I have just purchased the lews xfinity combo and was putting line on it and it was not spooling perfectly even I was using a clinch knot like I always do on my casting reels and never have had an issue, is it the knot maybe? Or maybe is it just the reels fault? Any solutions would be useful, thanks! Quote

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted July 5, 2021 Super User Posted July 5, 2021 Don't worry about it just yet. Tie a lipless, crankbait or some other moving bait on and take it to the water and cast it and retrieve it. Then see if you have issues. 1 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 5, 2021 Global Moderator Posted July 5, 2021 Depending on how uneven it is, it might not be an issue. Seems a lot of spinning reels tend to be a bit top heavy on where they like to lay line, but still function fine. Obviously, there's a limit to where it's no longer fine though. You might try using it a little and see if it seems to be a problem or not. 1 1 Quote

Oh my goodness just tried this and it fixed it completely, threw a lead weight just now in the backyard and fixed!
