I'm familiar with that first one - even built a rig to get rid of it - but it all reverts back after floating out a bait under a balloon
But that second one is a bit mysterious |

With those hour glass profiles you have to physically build up the middle of the spool by hand laying the line, and then allow the rest to go on as usual.
Usually a bump / hump of about the same size on the spool as the depression is deep as seen is enough to rectify it. Its a oscillating timing thing it seems... I had a old Shimano reel do the same which I used extensively, and I've got a few BTR's and I saw the original line on them which was similar... Second one I reckon somethings bent.

so you build a hump on the bare spool with duct tape - then put the line back on - Might just give that a crack - coz all my bait runners have unusual line lays

The gold spool is the newer version - it doesnt seem to have the humps - but its not without its problems

The reel in the picture looks a little too full for my liking. I would go a touch less just to be sure of no problems out on the water. Almost all wind knots are caused by too much line on the reel. Lowering the line will eliminate or reduce all cases. The reason is because you need some resistance on the line from the spool lip when making a cast. This allows the coils that come off the spool to "stretch" out some and make it easier for the line to go through the guides. When the line load is too full on the spool, the coils coming off don't rub on the lip so they get very round and large in diameter. This makes them more difficult to get through the guides and in some cases it bunches up and tangles, and you get your wind knot. Line twist and a few other things can contribute, but too much line on the reel is the main one by far and lowering the line will fix 99% of cases. Last edited by grizzo; 09-06-2019 at 08:29 PM. |

Physically wind on a hump of line / backing mono etc to lift the centre up.

This is the case with ANY spool. The lip is what lifts the line off. Why did you single out that “Shimano” spools and the Propulsion design do something that others don’t?

Ok so I built the hump - and heres the result

and here it is versus the original
(First photo - no hump of line added) (Second photo - hump of mono added) |

No difference to the end result. That’s funny because I would have thought it would even things out, but it hasn’t.

I think the depth of the spool is an issue - It might make a difference on a shallower spool. But I put 200 meters of 30lb braid over the top of the bump. And the other thing is the original photo shows its fairly underspooled - so I imagine the bumps get worse the more line you put on - Edit - I'll strip some back to the approximate same level to see if there is a difference Last edited by yellow door 1; 10-06-2019 at 08:41 AM. |

Ok - so I stripped off a heap of line to see if it made a difference - nup
