Jay Burgess:
Is there anyone here that actually prefers to have coning on their stellas?

I don't think you will get many positives to that question Jay  :). Coning is mainly used with lines such as Fluorocarbon but not with modern day braids where a standard uniform lay is ideal.

Brandon Khoo:
actually, it really shows the amazing tolerances which these reels are built to in that a washer that must be something like .25mm thick can have such an impact. I had the same issue after my last service on my reels but one washer did the trick.

Something must have been slightly adjusted during the service perhaps as it was fine with 3 washers before that ??? ???

Kevin Li:
Coning is ok if you are a fast caster and you are hitting it with body rotation and the line is shooting fast from the spool! Normally the hip does most of it. It help line to leave the spool on a uniform pattern to avoid wrapping.

Of course you see a difference when you are power casting!
