Diawa Reel Problems
I have a Daiwa EmblemX 6000T spinning reel and am experiencing two problems.
1. The spool travel is so great that sometimes at the end of a cast I can't close the bail because the spool is extended too far out on the shaft to allow the bail to close. So I have to recapture some line (letting the spool retract down the shaft a bit), to close the bail. 2. I've had a couple of break-offs right at the spool (near the roller) when I go to set the hook. Despite the fact that it has 80# PowerPro. Something is cutting right through the line. I've checked the roller and can't find a problem. Also, all the guides are good with no sharp edges or nicks. Any ideas? (I'm not a big fan of Daiwa spinning reels, but I got this one at a very good price a couple of years ago from Cabelas.) |

This one I don't get--the spool doesn't travel during the cast. If you're able to open the bail to cast, you should be able to close it after the cast :confused: |
Is the spool loose? I mean like the whole assembly, shaft and all? Did the bail get bent somehow? As for the break offs I'd say check the guides to see if the are cracked (use a cotton ball). Like Mike said spool and bail should remain in pretty much same position.

redcrbbr, I've had Sweetwater's rod in hand and had one breakoff when setting the hook and 1 breakoff right after hookup when the fish pulled drag. We looked over the entire reel and nothing appears loose or bent. All of the guides were checked as well. |
double check...
triple check the top tip... look at all the guide feet wraps and check the blank for any dings too... Look at all the parts that would touch the line from the bail arm to the part that holds the line roller in place.. make sure no part of the bail wire has any scuffs or dings... the spool thing is just a seating problem... incase you swapped spools recently check washers... the above is the schematic to the reel... |
leptar, your link brings up "403 Forbidden".

sweetie
i got to know .......why ????????? do u use 80 pp on your spinning reel ...u know that its brakes at about 100+ lbs.. 30 or 50 is good....try a cotton ball on everthing for nicks..i have a emblem pro 5000 -w/2 spools for canal fishing ..w/ 30 pp. no problems yet ...u have to lock bail against the stop before u cast or it will trip from cintriffical? force from the bail swing

If your bail is snapping shut, use your middle finger to hold it open when you cast. Flip it back manually instead of using the reel itself. I've also had bad spools of braid before with a weak spot every ten yards or so throughout the spool.

Does that make sense? And to other's points...for sure 80# is probably overkill for that reel. |

Before opening the bail by hand, pull down a few inches of line over the bail
to avoid a loop on the spool which can put a braid cut in the line when you cast. Sometimes the reverse happens getting a loop and braid cut before closing the bail causing a break off at the roller as you set the hook. |
