They should be slightly reversed tapered as that is the ABS spool but with mine you can see the small raised line around the bottom of the spool and at the top the line is right to edge of the spool. I'll get a photo tonight ... and one after the washers go on.Originally Posted by Captain Stabin

Hey capt. - Should i ask for 2 sets?
I thought that it was more at the top than the bottom but then thought how could i have thought that that would aid casting/unspooling line.duh
Mattchew - Cheers mate, keen to see if we've got the same issue.
When you say reverse tapered, is that wider at the top or bottom?

Re: Broken Sol
It was really good of Daiwa to send out the washes straight away like that, but I prefer the Shimano way of putting 4 extra washes in the box with the new reel so you can adjust the lay the way you like from the start.
Are these the washers in question.
How, where?
Easiest way is put the reel and washers in a box and shake Violently and presto.Your done.
Wider at the Top ... not sure what the washers look like yet ... I think they sit under the bearing on the shaft .. don't quote me on that though ... waiting for an instructional email to follow.Hey capt. - Should i ask for 2 sets?

The line lay problem must be common fault, I have notice my 3000 sol lays more line at the top of the spool aswell.

I seem to recall hearing about this and that it is only a problem with braid for some reason.
I will post some pics of my spools tomorrow to compare.
By placing more washes under the spool it raises the spool to give more even lay, as you add more it does the opposite by putting more line to the bottom of the spool, which is a definite 'no no' with braid.

Here's my 2000 spool with 12lb XDS .... 6lb Crystal looks the same too.
Put the washes on top of No 10
Thanks GPB, I'll let you know how I go in the coming days ... how many washers do you think to start off with? .. I'm thinking 2 and see what happens.

The Shimano washers are very thin for fine tuning, but saying that 2 extra washes on a Stella 10000 had me undoing airknots/ tangles on 1 out of 4 casts, once I took the washes off and respooled the problem disappeared

Been quite a few posts on this issue and the washer is the solution someone on here replaced it themselves withpout daiwa help cost him $1 a good search should find the thread
They are the washers in question ... not sure if they were originally in the box or not but they look the same as the one is under there already.
johnlikes2fish Thanks, i found a few posts relating to this issue and looks easy enough to slip the washer over the bearing, just want to double check I'm doing the right thing. I'm sure there are plenty of Sol's out there with too much line taper or not enough so hopefully this will aid people in resolving their problems.
