SHimano Sienna warning (another one)

A while back I got my cousin a sienna and was having problems with line being cut or nicked as I pulled line off the spool by hand

If you are in the habit of stripping line off your reel every cast to make sure there are no loose loops - its sharp enough to cut 8lb fireline (breaks at 20lb)
Just went through a whole spool of fireline working that out -

you can see the groove cut into the ridge line that was doing all the cutting - (its not the white dot right next to the X - its the groove cut into the ridge line a little bit to the left of the X

Just found a second sharp spot that will cut the line if you strip line off the spool by hand - its right at the base where the bail arm joins - so look out for that one aswell.

Once you know where all the sharp spots are they are easy enough to avoid - but its still annoying - especially when it happens twice in a row before you work it out. I'll be hitting it with some sand paper next time we fish - or should I araldite over the top then sand that

I'm stunned that that was able to slice through fireline Remove the bail arm and run some real fine sandpaper over it YD.

Run a blade edge over the sharp edge of the bail arm, just to remove the top sharp edge.

Yeah I'm beginning to think I misdiagnosed it the first time - now I reckon its the sharp bit on the bail arm thats doing it

Thanks Slaz - Now that I know its there, he can avoid it but I will remedy the situation when I see him next.

I should state that this only occurs when line is pulled from the reel by hand and the line doesnt run over the line roller

if braid is pulled off the reel (when stripping line for a respool say) and not sitting on the roller, it can cut into the plastic like a saw. I've done this to one of my spares using it as a line tensioner for another reel. the first spot looks similar to this at a smaller scale. the second thing looks like a manufacturing defect

Yeah I havent spent alot of time around Siennas as this is my cousins reel - but its been very irritating trying to trouble shoot this problem - so many retied leaders and doubt over whether it was dodgy line or not.

It was a relief to actually see it fray the line instead of it just snapping straight away.
