There's a simple solution to this problem...duct tape.

Haha... I actually have tried using tape (not duct tape though) to cover up the notch. To be honest, taping it over doesn't work great either and I'll even have the line catch the edge of the tape.. especially if it starts coming undone.

But we shouldn't have to break out a roll of tape to spool a spinning reel!

I've even tried keep my rod tip out away from the notch, so the line comes off the spool away from the snag. You'd think this would work, but it doesn't. While it does help some, it still catches the notch.

Some brand's notches aren't so bad, while others are horrendously snaggy.

Small pieces of duct tape works well for me on the AbrazX this last go around.
