Troubleshooting

Spool does not seat properly

Ensure the reel frame and spool arbor are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct spool model for the Sage Shift LT reel.

Line tangles easily on the new spool

Ensure the line is wound evenly and without slack. Check that the spool is correctly seated and spinning freely. Consider if the line itself is old or damaged.
