Creek Chub 1 Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 I bought a new Daiwa tatula LT 3000, shallow spool model. It’s a very smooth reel but have a question, I have used it twice and both times, line jumped off the spool and bird nested pretty bad. I’m using 6# Yozuri hybrid and used this line for years with zero issues. any suggestions? I thought the first time that I might have overfilled the spool but pulled off quite a bit and it happened again Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 12, 2023 Super User Posted October 12, 2023 Sounds like you spooled the line onto the reel against the filler spool Memory. If you use a axial method where the spool spins make sure the line comes off from the bottom of the spool filler spool spinning clock wise. Tom 1 Quote
Super User MickD Posted October 12, 2023 Super User Posted October 12, 2023 I always fill my spin by letting the line loop off the stationary filler spool. If the reel rotor spins clockwise when adding line when viewed from the front then the line comes off the filler spool counter clockwise. And vice versa if rotor spins the other way. Those little notches in the filler spools do cause some problems-I think they are used by the machinery to drive the spools when filling them. Sometimes one can fold a sticker over them to keep them from catching the line. 1 Quote
