LineLay/Winding Shape???????????????

[fishyman]

hey guys i just got a new reel and it came with washers to adjust line lay. My question is for casting light plastics and HB's with 6lb sunline super PE should i have the line lay.

normal

more to the front of the spool

or more to the back of the back of teh spool.

my reel is a stradic FI 1000 and it has a angled spool lip which sticks out further so i thought having more to the front will fill it better and therefore it should cast better.

any opinions??

Having it higher at the rear will reduce friction over the lip.

thanks ellicat.

any other opinions??

I prefer to just have the normal line lay. Looks better imo.

I have heard that having it higher at the lip makes for longer casts though. I think that is why Daiwa designed the ABS spool (someone correct me I'm wrong please:))

well i just fiddles and put it more on the front and im pretty happy so might try it out this weekend
