I think i might have a problem with my line spinning as well, does reel magic really work better than any normal silicon spray?

No some of it is better not to mention cheaper.If you use just a simple slip knot like the one you use to tie your arrows on that will solve your line slipping problems.Just make it look like a lasso,twist a figure 8 in it to double it.It's a simple one way slip knot that can't move unless you put it on the reel backwards.No tape or any other bullchit is needed.:tu:

That is correct--no matter what reel you use. The figure 8 is the key.

I know this thread is worthless without pitchers so here ya' go.Just slide it on over your reel and pull it tight.Once it's on it aint gonna slip.In order for it to work right the spinner head has to turn in the opposite direction that your line is wrapped.There's only two ways to put it on and if you get it on backwards just slide it back off and flip it around the other direction.

Dang...gotta admit...I didn't know that trick

I use just the single loop and duct tape on the spool itself and it DOES slip, I'll have to try that next time I reline.

I learned it from a post on here when I first started shooting spinners.Pictures is a whole lot easier for everyone to understand how it's done and describing how to do it is even a little confusing but as you can see it's really pretty simple.It's just a figure 8 folded over to make one circle:tu:

seen it happen the other night. most likely its a drag issue. if it's slipping and you reel it then it's twisting the line.

Now that you let the cat out of the bag what am I going to do for entertainment. I've had plenty of good laughs out of some of the fixes the experts on here came up with.

Everytime I saw a "line slipping" or "drag slipping" thread my conscience would tell me to post the answer put my inner demons would make me sit back and watch the show. Everything from tape to glue to sandpaper and bubble gum. You oughta be ashamed--now I'll have to buy a TV.

Yep that's the loop and knot I have been talking about, although I do make my slip thru loop a lot smaller, but that is how I tie my line on. Good pics!
I have even triple wrapped it on some reels and still get some slipping. Trying a wide rubber band now to see how that will work on the spool and if it will last. Might be an easy fix for the line slipping on the reel, just depends on how it affects line wrapping on the spool as you wind the line on, have to get some samples to find the proper size to fit the inside portion of the spool.
Liquid Wrench silicone spray is what I have on my boat right now and it is working good, in fact too good!

barrel swivle [different from clip type] 1/0 size at least these will snap 200 lb. line they do help in situations where you can use them don,t know about tying to back we use slides.

What is a situation you can/should use a swivel vs when you shouldn't?

tying to back might not work with swivel might make the weight of the swivel more prone to tangle on line or cables never tried tying to back always slides. with my retriver they work was using one on the penn reel but every now and then i wouldhear a click as the swivel went by the wand so i took it off didn,t want to take a chance of tangle but swivels really help with some of the line twist if drag is loose or line slips on spool tangle bad.
