Mick013 2 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi all,ive got a daiwa custom kix reel and i noticed lately that when you pull line off the spool it has a slight wobble. im a bit worried it might be stuffed but its only 6 months old if that...is it reasonably normal to have a slight wobble?

Ranger 48 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Take it into the place where you bought it. You have a warranty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Ian 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I also have a custom kix reel, will take note this arvo when I fish with it to see if it also has a wobble. ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shark_Fisho 1 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Does it wobble with the drag nob on with a bit of pressure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
projoe 261 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 G'day mik013.before taking the reel back to where u bought it, make sure all the bits are in the right place & in the correct order, that is if you have had it apart for servicing.make sure any bearing or washers under the spool are present, drag washers are in the correct order & seated.if all is present & correct look very closely at the spool rim, if it has any dings in the finish it could have had a knock at some stage, sometimes it might not feel like much but suprising how much damage can be done.

Mick013 2 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 it does have a slight wobble under pressure but only slight...i think it must have had a nock because there is a small scratch on the top edge of the spool...when u pull line off u can see its turning slightly out of whack...im just not sure whether its a big deal or not?

Mick013 2 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 just finished taking all the components that the spool sits on, on the shaft. check the shaft against a steel ruler and couldnt see any noticeable bend or anything sinister...dunno what else to look at. i dont think ill atempt taking it apart any further because it still works quite well and knowing my luck ill stuff it up good and proper ..... Thanks for the help !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest big lizard Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Warning to every one using Team Daiwa reels send them back to daiwa dont try pulling them appart the digi gears are alined on jigs so the gears roll smoothly and don't mesh, fine tolerances between the gears if not placed correctly your reel will be a piece of poo.. :icon_cool:Mike, as projoe mentioned it could be that your spool is out of wack,this can be a fault from factory my mate got a luvia's 2000 the spool lip is out of wack about 3mm no worries with performance at all just a dickie spool, take it to the Sports Fishing Scene the reel man there loves his Daiwa reels and he knows what his doing, if there is a big problem he will send it off for you or tell you to go back to the place of purchase...Either way he will solve the mystery...Cheers Damo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley 8 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 How "slight" is the wobble, It's not an F1 engine. There is a certain amount of play in the unit. It won't be a bent shalt, the shaft doesn't spin, just moves up and down. My guess is it's just a little play where the spool mounts on the shaft or between the drag washers.
