Title: penn 5600L liveliner ?
Post by: arrowhawk on February 26, 2012, 10:56:59 AM
What is wrong with my reel?
I am using braid, when I am fighting a fish there is a void where the bottom 1/8 of the line should be.

When I put the line on it seemed to go on even, So I only have this gap on the line that I use for fishing.
Is this normal is to I need to replace a part?

Sounds like you will need another washer under the spool on the spool shaft.  If you take off the spool, you will see those little positioning washers.  You need either a 1/16" or 1/8" washer.  I'd probably start with 1/16" first.
