Do you have the line come out the bottom or top of the spool? Ive seen both so not sure if there’s a right way or not.

Inline reel question?

If I remember right I have seen them both ways, I did search and couldnt come up with the right pictures tho.
After further research I found a pic of the Eagle Claw which is from the top.
February 8, 2014 at 8:27 pm #1387106I spool mine so that it retrieves in the same direction that a spinning reel or casting reel retrieves. So for me it goes on the bottom on a non geared straight line reel. I think on the geared reels it pulls from the top.
February 8, 2014 at 8:35 pm #1387109I say bottom too. That’s on the Genz and if I did it the other way, I think I’d have a lot of issues.
February 8, 2014 at 9:19 pm #1387117So you guys reel backwards? Did that take some getting used to?
February 8, 2014 at 9:22 pm #1387118It feels kind of odd. I’m still getting use to how long it takes to reel in not having a ratio. Kinda like hand cranking broken landing gear, 358 cranks to move it a 1/4 inch!

No, don’t reel backwards.

I reel the opposite direction of a spinning reel.
February 8, 2014 at 9:28 pm #1387122I reel like a normal spinning reel, because I have an inline with a gear ratio and a real handle.
February 8, 2014 at 9:45 pm #1387125i suppose i could have been more specific. This is an eagle claw so it had ratio and free spool.
February 8, 2014 at 10:09 pm #1387126Line comes off the top of my eagle claw. Hate the whole damn reel, but that’s for a new topic.
February 9, 2014 at 5:45 am #1387133Multiplier inline reels have the line feed from the top. You can’t feed from the bottom on them. A fly style reel with no free spool you can do either way.

Oh yeah, then its the top.frezerfisherPosts: 63February 9, 2014 at 11:49 am #1387199I have both and like them both. I suppose that the ones that feed from the top are better but for me it really does not matter.
February 9, 2014 at 3:43 pm #1387230I have an Eagle Claw (coupe weeks) and line comes off the top, left hand reel set up with the normal spinning reel turning direction.
