Hi everyone, just spooled Korda carp line ( 0.40 ) onto my 3 ultegra 14000, used 10000 spoil reducers. 1000 meters will not do 3 reels, you need to buy 2 1000 meter spoils of line to fill 3 reels. Hope this helps.
I've got 0.34 line to put on these reels mate so if I use 6000 reducers that will give me 300 or so metres on each? I've got a 1200m spool of line so is there smaller spacers I can use to get 400 mtres on each spool?
Unfortunately you're stuck with the 6000 reducers and some left over line. I've encountered this problem, I now use 0.35 and wouldn't go any thinner due to using 4oz leads without shock leaders. This now leaves me with no wastage once 3 reels are spooled up.
Yes you should easily get over 300 yards per spool but I'd advise counting on the turns. 280 turns equates to 308 metres which is approx 337 yards. By doing this you'll be able to put the same amount of line on each reel. Sorry if that sounds obvious or condescending.
like the video mate, I would personally fill the spools more with line as the line beds in tighter after use, what diameter line were you spoiling on.....?
Looks to me like theres different washers in both reels. One spool has gone on coned one way and the other has gone on t Coned the opposite way. If the line lay was the same you would prob be ok
Hi to you, great video by the way. can you please advise me, i have just purchased 2 XTD 14000 reels like yours. can you please say how many meters of line right up to the lip i can get on with the large spacers to save me putting on a whole spindle of line. Thanks for any advice Dave
