Hey guys, just got a new Daiwa Coastal and I love it. However, I just spooled it up to take a cast or two and twice now the line is getting inbetween the left side of the spool and the reel........I'm not happy obviously.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to fix it or should I just send it back? Thanks......

Make sure the reel is spooled with the line dia. it is intended for..

14/120, 16/100

If you have the lateral play in the spool (CC) set to lose it will allow a small dia line to slip into the spool race...

Good luck & Tight Lines!!

Thanks, you're right. I discovered that it I had it set too loose.......lol. I did spool with it with 10 lb test which I suppose is too small. So, I had both things wrong. It's fine now but it's got me thinking I want to find another reel that will be just as small but will also handle smaller diameter line. Otherwise it's super sweet. Thanks!

I had picked up this reel for using on my swimbait rod but now that I've changed to my Citica 200DSV I've decided to sell or trade this one....anyone who wants a brand new reel that's sweet, light, and tough...I'll make you a deal.

There is nothing wrong with it.....just had it set too loose......It's new, with box, papers. I've taken only a few casts with it.....
