You're right and thats what the image is saying Peter (it's taken straight from the stella manual) - i got confused in my post obviously!  It says just leave it if you want straight sides, take one out of you want to make it cone to the top and put one in if you want it to cone to the base.  So therefore if it's already coning to the top yeap, you'd add one back in.  Don't mind me :)

The diagrams show what to do to get the wanted line lay, not after the event to fix it.

Sorry I didn't get that picture up as promised.  My computer has crashed/frozen and it appears I will lose the hard drive.  Taking another picture is not hard, but finding somewhere to upload and resize it is.  And I have a billfish tournament this weekend so I'm just too busy!

I did respool last weekend and the line was coning towards the drag knob.  Unfortunately I don't have replacement washers so I'll have to figure out a way to order some more.  I tried to go fishing last Sunday but somebody had taken my kayak paddle so I was helpless.  Since then I've been doing 10-15 casts/morning off a point near my apt with no problems.  But there's no reason to think I've solved the problem.  Next step: more washers.

Thanks for all the help, everybody.

David, so you spooled a little less line on this time?

You should be able to get those discs ordered from any tackle shop that deals with shimano. If not I  have some for a 10k might be able to throw you 1 or 2 if they are the same part??.
