I am putting line on a new reel for a buddy of mine visiting. It wants to spool more on the left side than the right. The left side is 1/16th" from the top and the right side is 1/8th" from the top. I have seen differences in the past but this seems excessive. What am I doing wrong?
Spool shaft possibly bent? Try casting it out and see if the results are the same after retrieve.
I took the line off, but I did notice the spool moving back and forth due to the adjustment knob turned out. I will try respooling.
Respooled and seemed to help. Thanks Ken
I have read that here somewhere that there is a part(don't know which part) is worn/wearing down a bit. Its something to do with the levelwind, which puts the line on even through out the retreive. Check over on the Rods/Reels board and they can tell you more. Which reel is it?
I pretty much ask my questions here. The other places you get to many smart azz answers.

That's very true....you never get a smart azz answer on this board....
how did you put the line on i always used to have that little problem till i got a line
spooler were i could keep the same tension on it while i was spooling. nothing expensive but it helped me a lot.
that works to but iwas never able to keep the tension steady and it would always run the line to one side more than the other. but would staighten out after i used it.
