why does my zebco 11 micro spincast reel stop the line from going out?
this is my sons reel, and it seems 2 outa 3 times it fails to cast, or when it does cast, the line goes about 20-30 feet and stops, dropping the lure well short of the desired target area. I know, I know, go get a spinner reel, and I have one, but like I said, this is for my 7 year old boy, any suggestions on why it does this? and how I can fix it?
The Zebco 11 is a nice little reel for ultralight fishing, but it has a small spool and limited line capacity. The most likely reasons for your problem are:
(1) Enough line has broken off through use, so that you no longer have sufficient line left to fill the spool. This significantly increases line friction and cuts distance. The 11's spool need to be fairly full to get any casting distance.
(2) You line is old and kinky, hampering free-flow casting ability
(3) You may have filled the spool with too heavy a line, which will cut down casting distance significantly. Heavy line is thicker and stiffer and will not cast well in a small reel such as this. The 11 Micro should be filled with 4# or 6# line maximum.
