Good information, just try to get to the point a lot quicker. This 7 minute video would be much more effective in a 1 1/2 minute video.

I had this issue on my new reel… It wasn’t the plastic washers either. It’s simply my error, when self spooling your line you want to spool the first few yards slowly until it fills your spool from top to bottom and you realize it’s even. When you realize it’s even from top to bottom you can full blown spool it faster. Trust me it works!

Uh this is really old I know but I don’t want people thinking their Daiwa BG is defective. The BG has a reverse taper spool, it’s supposed to be wider towards the top for less resistance against the spool lip when casting. You guys have messed with the natural design of the reel.

Good info but video could have been 90 seconds instead of 7.5 minutes.

Diawas are set up on purpose to have more line at the top. It casts better that way, but it bothers people with OCD. Lol!

I owe you a beer my dude.I got the Bg 8000 off of countless positive reviews and videos on it.I went to spool it and it comes.I took the line off(all 800 yards and tried again...same thing...took off line again and tried again...same thing.Just happened to be on KZread and this video popped up It worked like a charm.Thanks buddy!

Broken reels huh? I fish hard, 60 years, I never broke a reel. Nothing, I did need a new handle once tho

Do you have any experience with the Regal LT’s? I’ve got two 2000D regals that spool line off the bottom of the spool, but when I take the spool off it doesn’t have any spacers, just a very thick washer under the bearings. Do I take that off and replace with a spacer?

Damn im screwed 😭

While you have the line off, reverse your braid and use the other end of that braid.

Thank you for the most helpful video for spacer washers on a Daiwa. You made my day! I almost returned the Fuego because I couldn't see the rubber band and couldn't get bearing off. THANKS!

It’s awesome how these tiny shims are needed but if you don’t have extra they’re impossible to find online. I’m gonna have to make my own again out of a plastic container the same thickness

Dude, I cannot thank you enough!! Great video, save me tremendous frustration. 🙏

Thanks! You helped me fix a brand new Shakespeare, will be putting fish on the boat tonight.

Thanks bro! I couldn’t figured out why mine was tapered. You’re a life saver! 👍🏿

Thank you so much, I would have had to pay to have this done in my local tackle shop. I have the same Daiwa BG 4000 and have a cheap size 4000 daiwa reel for spare parts. This video was an absolute lifesaver

Love your videos! Watched some of the richmond videos from a while back and thought I’d give it a try. I drove up landed a 50lb blue!!

Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth

nice video! extremely helpful! got my Shimano straightened out 👌🏼😎🎣

My fuego spinning reel is nice and smooth, but I’ve had this issue and I’ve been getting tons of wind knots. I was about to sell it for cheap, but I’m gonna do this when I get home today. Thanks for the video!! I didn’t know this was an option
