Hi there to all the knowledgeable folks on this forum. I have had an intermittent problem for some time now,and was wondering if anybody else perhaps have had the same experience.
I have 2x Twinpower's which I hold very dear,and have actually caught a couple of landbased game-fish on.I use them for spinning with surface-plugs and spoons(mostly plugs). The problem that I have is that every once in a while I find the braid to enter inbetween the bailarm and the line-roller. Believe it or not,in that tiny highly unlikely space. Most often I feel the additional ''tension'' on the retrieve soon enough and then manually disengage the braid from it's ''trap'' without skipping a beat. This seems to happen mostly when I do a ''popping-motion'' with my fast retrieved surface plug. Obviously this manouvre generates an amount of slack line and this is then mostly when it occurs.
To me(laymans-opinion), it feels that the little L-shaped ridge on the inside of said bailarm(see photo's), could be the cause of this phenomena.I find that at this L-shaped step,that it is the only place/manner where I can manually manipulate the same situation,and actually get the braid to ''hang-up'' behind the line-roller..
Initially,I thought it may be the line-roller that is perhaps ''oblong'' or oval-shaped from all the heavy pulling of fish (I wish),and replaced that after thoroughly checking for any wear on bearing,bush and spacer, inside the line roller.This unfortunately did not remedy the situation and on occasion the situation again presented itself. Plan B was to then replace the bailarm,which I did,yet still it did the same thing every once in a while(perhaps once for every 100 casts,as per the norm)..
Whilst doing homework,I noticed that the Stella 10K seems to have all the same internal parts in the line-roller assembly.The bailarm,however has a different part number,and from comparison it looks like it does not have the L-shaped-step which I suspect may be the problem.However, that would be my last resort and have I already made enquiries regarding the availability with positive results..
Searching the web for any similar problems by other users yielded nothing,and before I have myself checked into a padded-wall-hotel with a single-sleeve-overall,I thought I would, in a desperate final attempt to remain sane, try and find a solution here..
For what it is worth,It happens with up to 50lbs Power-Pro thickness braid,and various thinner diameters down to PE2(30lbs) which is the absolute thinnest that I have used on it.
Here's to hoping somebody may shed some light,or perhaps even re-post to International forums of which you may be a member of.
Thanks in advance.
