Title: line not going flat on reel???
Post by: Alistair Barnes on March 03, 2010, 03:51:02 PM

I've bought myself a penn liveliner to try popping with and I'm having trouble getting the line to gone on the spool equally.   It forms a cone with the widest part at the top.   There were no extra washers in the box so i was wondering if anyone could let me know what i need to do to try and sort this out.

thanks in advance

thanks for your help, I'll get onto sourcing another washer.  Might have to find a random one as no penn dealers round here to help out!
