Line tapers on fixed spool reels - Terry Edmonds

[@leewills2160]

Every days a school day. My days can’t believe I’ve just grasped this. Thanks.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Ha ha hope it helps

[@leewills2160]

@@TerryEdmondsUkIve just reloaded my technium mags. Been wondering why I’ve a gap at the base of the spool. The technium has one washer at present. Then 5 different thickness washers in the pack. Should I just put them all on. Wish I had watched this first. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@seatboxboy]

Great stuff terry you talk alot of sense and are a great help.keep it up.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Thank you 🙏

[@chad0536]

Had to come back to give you a like. I stumbled on your video by luck, I always thought the extra washers were for replacements only. I did notice my backward taper but had no idea why it spooled this way. Took all my line out this morning, added 4 more washers, total of 6 and I got a lovely forward taper now which is awesome, thank you very much for your video. The downside now however is that I could have slightly more line on the spool.

[@danielmetcalfe5985]

Fantastic!!!!...... I watch sooo many carp videos and propably only learn something on the odd occasion but this video taught me something I didn't even know about! Thanks Terry! I'm gonna get playing right now lol

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Good man it's satisfying getting a great taper on your reel for casting and looks lol

[@Predatorbybow]

Terry, so glad I found this video, it is brilliant. I have 2 5500's and wasnt sure about the washers. after seeing this, both spools were reverse (thicker at the top). So I added 3 washers each and bam, perfect! Thank you for all your time and effort sir.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

My pleasure mate, pleased you have the correct taper my friend 😁

[@jimcooper779]

Excellent again Terry 👍

[@garyguest1885]

Nice one fella… informative stuff.. been carp fishing for 40 years I did know the washers were for spool spacing & adjustment in case the line didn’t lay properly, but in all honesty I didn’t know about using washers to make line tapers 👍🏻

[@wilcovanleest6944]

Great video again Terry👍🏻 In The Netherlands I don’t know any casting coaches, but these videos help me a lot.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Thanks more to come will get into technique as well soon

[@philipgoddard1818]

Great video very useful information 👍

[@chesurechesure]

Thanks for giving up your time tel. Enjoy learning from your advice.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

No worries I like helping if I can

[@SpiralMoss]

I've bought the ultegra I've been using multiplyers since I was 15 for shore fishing, but decided to try a fixed spool....I'm going to try your suggestion. Thanks for sharing the video

[@markmason13]

I love the line reducers you get with most shimano reels I fine they improve the line lay by miles.

[@philipglancy8593]

I especially liked the part where you taught us how to count 7 washers out 😂 Jokes aside, very informal video, thank you 👍

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Can’t be a clearer than that 😂

[@GlenHarvey]

Great video, great info, thanks

[@carpouk6377]

Yet again pal another really good video.. Helpful once again.. I will defo be getting in touch with you once I have some spear money for some lessons in casting. My cast is 110 yards at the moment with 15lb subline.. Straight through no shock leader

[@IanThompsonmohaanozz]

love the channel,thank you

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

I’m trying to be more frequent. But also try to give good information and content more importantly. Thank you 🙏

[@mariocioaba9052]

Hi Terry hope you’re well will you consider coming again in Romania for couple of days for the carp anglers that are respecting your work and they’re anctios to learn amd see you in action, cheers buddy

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

I was planning to go last year, but covid stopped that 😞

[@tims1542]

Very interesting stuff. I need to check in my daiwa basia 45 sld qd boxes and see whether i had any washers in there! If not, can they be added anyway please mate? I am aware that currently the reels definitely front load, which is not where they need to be by the sounds of things

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

@@tims1542 take the spool off you will see the washers on the spindle mate

[@tims1542]

@TerryEdmondsUk thank you 😊 Again!

well done mate a very good interesting video

[@leeprice6415]

brilliant advice

[@TonyFrank-q8p]

What a great video thanyou I'm just stuck on getting the washers have you a link to get those smaller washers , all I can find are ice washers Thanks in advance

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Felindre servicing google it my friend

[@dazegan8975]

Awesome video mate. I fish big pits all the time and casting distance is a big part of it. Never even used those washers before tbh

[@ApoloniuszMusialek]

Just respooled the Crosscasts from Daiwa, and they spool right from the box. No need for washers for mono.

[@phil3038]

Been away from Carp fishing for around 5-6 years. I'm perplexed by just how many new players have their own brand reels and rods and they all look good. Apart from the trusted Shimano and Daiwa reels are there any others that deserve a look at? And great video I've actually learnt something new today so thank-you! 😎

[@rosswilson4098]

Penn very underrated reels mate tough quality carp reels as they were one of the best sea fishing reels very reliable

[@jonathanschutze3776]

Would you add extra washers to your spod reel? Nice Video

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Most important thing with braid on spod reels is keeping the braid tight and keeping the braid under the lip. So I wouldn’t I prefer level and the braid a few mm below the lip. This stops wind knots 🙏

[@seatboxboy]

Whay line are you using please as the line lay is incredible

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Standard on the reels mate you can play with the washers to get your tapers right

[@grahamlarkin1290]

You are a top bloke. My ultegra ci 14 xtb came with 2 thin washers on the reel 2 thin and 2 thick in the box. What would you recommend.any help id be gratefull.great vids.and your casting vids.thanks👍

[@raw0302]

Hi what combo did you end up with? I have the same issue

[@grahamlarkin1290]

@@raw0302 i ended up using the 2 thicker and 3 of the 4 thinner, and spooling just under the lip. Only had 1 issue with 1 when put to much line on.my own fault.

[@dennisroelvink9914]

In the shimano aero technium you put in 2? Is that the thicker washers? Cheers Dennis

[@audiguypaul6004]

Great vid Terry, every day is a school day.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

My pleasure mate

[@chriswright4716]

Mate I’ve been fishing for a long time but never had the line taper explained so well. I’ve got Basia’s and emblem spods that need adjusting. Where would you find the right amount of washers to apply? Or just trial and error?

[@Jay-qe3jz]

Want to tune my xtb mgs better. How many washers would u recommend. ? THANKS

[@1s2t3u]

Hi Terry, great video. Do the line reducers have an impact of the taper? Do you use the line reducers?? Thanks Stuart

[@johnferrabee9932]

Hi great and very interesting video . I noticed that some of the washers were of different thickness???

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Yeah you get thick and thin. No reel is exactly the same but the same rules apply mate

[@adriancandy2249]

Great video m8..thankyou!

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

🙏

[@Matthewsafc86]

So if line is more at top add washers if more at back take washers off

[@691shaun]

Great video terry 👌🏼How many washer to you think for daiwa 5000ts bud?

[@carpouk6377]

Hi Terry.. Could you please give me a good knot to tie my mainline to my shock leader please as I am worried about it catching as it passes through the eyes cheers.. I did have fox warrior tt 3.5tc with 50mil butts but now have century ng 12ft 3.5tc with 40mil butts... Don't know if I should have just kept with the fox rods or carry on with the centurys

[@leevermiglio8701]

How many washers would already be on your desk for a even taper ? Looking forward to the spilling up as like you said it's made complicated and lots of companies giving advice.Thanks Terry

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Most reels out the box have even tapers this came with 4 if I remember right. It's hard to remember all the reels lol

Hello, what type of mono you use Here? Im asking for this „khaki” green line

[@kinghighpriestarchon4792]

Cheers Terry

[@markbeeversaddictedalround6574]

Terry good video mate iv just bought new reels and iv put washers on the way you have,by the way do you use ice washers and if your casting distance using braid as a main line what thickness braid would you say is a good and safe diameter.

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Don’t use ice washers but have friends that do and they like them. Regarding diameter of braid I use 0.29mm to 0.32mm for leader material so I would say down to 0.25mm you would be quite safe 👍

[@markbeeversaddictedalround6574]

@@TerryEdmondsUk thanks mate.

[@stephengennery6170]

Can you adjust the number of washers on a spool already loaded with line or do you have to do it before you load the line?

When are we going to see you over on Pumphouse, Terry?

Soon as I'm allowed to travel. Looking forward to giving it ago 😁

[@OliverQueen1974]

I have a midweek ticket & socially distanced cuppa is always on offer when I am there👍🏻 If you see a black Toyota C-HR in the car park, then I am there. Everywhere there is a simple underarm cast for you! 93m is furthest cast to far bank 😂

Hey, can i ask u what type of line u use? Im ask for this Khaki green line

[@blueonblueracingnova]

The washers that come with the kits are 3 different thicknesses. Did you use 6 thin ones or 6 thick ones or 3 three thin and three thick or 2 medium 2 thin and 2 thick ones as the thick ones are twice as thick as the thin ones

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

All mine were the thin ones mate. All the same in the ultegra box 👍 But a thick one and thin ones in my mag box. Have an experiment mate 😁

[@blueonblueracingnova]

@@TerryEdmondsUk 👍👍👍👍😁😁

[@gavinlangford2984]

Do you know how many would a penn spinfisher 7500lc take for a slight taper??

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

No but usually they are level out of the box. So maybe add one and see. Trail and error but once it’s done it’s done

[@Carpy1971]

Great video Terry, I'm just about to spool up my new ultegra xtc spod reel, its come with two washers one is slightly thicker than the other, should I add any more?

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Should be level with braid that will be perfect maybe 1 extra ✌️

[@paulanson3256]

Hi terry thanks for vid. On my 5500 ci4 people say on forums it’s over spooled. But I want the line lay like yours will 6 washers work on 5500 just like your 14000? Cheers

[@IEAirsoft]

Hi Terry, it's been quite a while since I had a casting lesson with you, money well spent! Question on the washers/taper: Does the number of washers change depending on the diameter of line change you're using i.e. thing diameter+leader versus thicker level line?

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

A little mate but not, to much

[@IEAirsoft]

@@TerryEdmondsUk So what have you found to be optimal for both thicker level-line casting/fishing AND thin mainline+leader, in what situation does one fewer/more washer work better? Obviously I'm talking about setting up spool taper relative to casting impact, once you go thicker than 0.42mm I'm guessing distance isn't necessarily your top priority anyway?

[@TonyFrank-q8p]

Mine are second hand shimano reels no box

[@techcarp]

What reel is that it needs 6 whashers to give to the line a conical alignment ???

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Ultegra Ci4 14000

[@timpetrak4780]

Thank you.

[@techcarp]

You should add them dependind on the line you use, if you use a 0.25mm or a 0.40 mm will not stay the same on your bobin

[@BesnikMatoshi]

Nice tool from Katran , they have prety good mono as well im using them three years now

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Yeah I've had other ones but really like this. Mono is decent 👍

[@ShumkovCasting]

Daiwa Emblem 45 SCW QD opinion for long range fishing? Nice vid btw 🎣

[@TerryEdmondsUk]

Do everything you need mate

[@alexbrooks5738]

I got obsessed with line lay did my head in have now switched to the emblem 45 less fussed. Had the 12000xtb mags they had different thickness spacers could get the taper finely adjusted but the .35 and above lines would obviously change the taper and line lay. Do the new shimano's come with only one thickness spacers now its the same on daiwa 45s out the box no changes level line lay. Keep the info coming tel gets boring people not reading your previous posts on casting. 🙄
