Line Lay 2013 Certate 3012H
Submitted by surfhead on Fri, 2014-02-07 06:09
Need opinion from anyone owning a Certate, high gear model
The line lay on mine looked terribly wrong, as below
I then had it sent to Daiwa who supposedly inserted a washer or something and returned it as fixed (second photograph). I can see there is a big improvement, but I'm wondering if the line lay shouldn't be near to perfect for a reel of this supposed quality/cost.
The problem is I don't have another Certate to compare it to.
Could anyone who owns a spooled Certate (high gear model) tell me if the line lay on my "repaired" spool looks ok or not ? Daiwa say that being a high gear model the line lay will be uneven?

I don't own a certate but
I don't own a certate but all reels come set a certain way for line lay which can be adjusted using different thickness graphite or plastic washers which normally come with the reel in the box for you to adjust to your preferred setting just add or remove them till you get the line lay you prefer different diameter lines affect the line lay as well

Yep I have a 2508 high speed
Yep I have a 2508 high speed and line lay is perfect. It's a very small spool so wouldn't expect the issues visible above unless you were cranking in a significant weight/ or under extreme tension

Thanks
Thanks to those who replied so far.
Could I ask for some more opinions please... in particular
is the line lay in the second photograph typical for this reel, or do I have genuine cause to doubt Daiwa's claim that it is normal.
