Anyone read Japanese?

ask Jim

I'd say trial and error, use common sense where the washers go depending on how the line goes on I guess

[fishaholic18]

Add washers to make line stack lower on spool and remove for line to stack higher.

What Dave said, sounds like a shimano?

[MAC]

So...if I leave it as is, should it should stack flat?

Dave

If the reel is already assembled it should lay flat.

To set to wind more to the front:=====>
(Reduce the number of washers on the spool shaft to achieve the way it looks on the first diagram, typically used for hard lines such as florocarbon to reduce backlash)

To set to wind more to the back:=====>
(Increase the number of washers on the shaft)

[Redsoxticket]

If it is not assembled use three spool washers.

The information that I've given you is from the stratic 8000 schematic. It should be similiar but you never know.

The other photos look like they show the minimun distance to spool edge.

Cool, thanks

Usually they already have a few washers installed out of the box. Don't mess with it till you test it out, it'll probably lay flat out of the box.

Those look like those little spacers that adjust the line lay with braid, defidently looks like shimano. Ive never used them on any of my shimano reels, never saw the need. id say just leave it be MAC unless you really see a need to use them.

Dave,

I got my manual semi-translated by a guy's neighbor who speaks/writes Japanese. I still couldn't figure it out.

When you figure it out ( because I know you're gonna tinker with it), let ME know.
