sore thumb on multiplier reel

How do i stop getting a sore thumb when casting using my multiplier. got cut of leader knot and it was a small knot.

When you wind in make sure the leader knot is well over to the left side of the spool, it will never give you any trouble again.

Tom.

try a section of a rubber over your thumb - something like a kitchen glove finger cut off.

You may be holding the spool for to long during the cast. After the initial release try hovering your thumb just a few mm above the spool - once the leader knot is away you will still have plenty of time to re-establish contact with the spool - hope this helps :D

i dont how to describe this...

But you can take a piece of rubber, a long peice and fasten it to your rod so you can fold it over the spool when you are about to cast.

Will do my best to find pictures of this.

And yes ofcourse.. as said before ALLWAYS make sure that you put the knot to either left or right side on the spool.

If you use tapered leaders the knot will be small enough not to catch on your thumb.

just found a website describing the rubber thing I mentioned...
