Is this reel overspooled?

NOPE

Looks fine to me.

It will be underspooled in about 4 months anyway.

Loooks right but the center is concave indicating it may not be tight.

  If the NASCI comes with shims, it appears you need to add the thinnest one to the main shaft.   jj

My sahara does the same thing. Spools a bit higher. Never noticed a difference with performance

I spooled it tight with a glove in. My sahara lays line the same way

Looks good I fish a few Nasci’s. Great reels. 
 

I guess you figured it out but the Nasci does not come braid ready spools like most good reels. But this is easy enough to get around. Has not been an issue for me being a mono and Fluor user.

Agree, this does not appear to be a shim issue but a spooling one.

It looks good to me.

It looks to me like the top has some extra wraps, but the bottom doesn't, which means the reel spools a little high if I'm seeing this right.

I added the thinnest shin in the pick and the line doesn’t seem to spool as high. This was after a few casts

It does look a little more concave in that pic, maybe it's just the orientation but not too bad. I think you're okay though.

You can normally add on a little more braid than you would mono but it looks good to go and ready to launch!

Yeah I’m not sure why. The shim didn’t really do much to be honest. I’ll just fish it

What you need to do is cast more, or ideally get in a kayak on an empty lake, cast, row until most the line comes off and then reel just so it gets most of the line off and gets to respool it.

Or go out and fish and don't worry about it. Either is as good as the other :)

It really didnt need 1, your better off with it stacking just a little top heavy then leaving any gap.  If you go with a different line you may have to play musical parts again.
