    Spinning reel spool, line uneven.

    I have a new Daiwa Procyon 2000 spinner and I spooled it with mono 8 pd line. I spooled it up to about 1/8 of an inch from the top of the spool. BUT, on the rear of the spool the line is all the way to the top of the lip. There are three, white, plastic washers in the box. I believe these have something to do with leveling the spool, but the instruction's do not tell me what to do or how to correct this problem. Or do I have a bigger problem than washers can fix? Need help, thanks.

    That's exactly what those washers are for. Remove the spool and start with one washer on the spool shaft. Put the spool back on and make a cast, then reel in. Add or remove washers until you get the line lay how you like it.

    Bilgerat is correct. Follow Bilgerat's suggestions and all should be well. Line piling at the back of the spool means you have too many washers on there now.

    Ok, here's the deal. Reel is brand spank'in new. I pulled the spool and removed "one" washer. Going fishing tomorrow and will report back.
    Thanks for your help.
