Hey there.

Can you post a photo of what you have? A picture tells a thousand words and that will allow for an accurate assessment.

How much meat is left on the reel? I am not an expert on these matters, but to my eye 5mm or 6mm would be about as far as I'd take it.. I'm only thinking any less could compromise the stability of the steel as it gets pretty agro in there at times.

Cheers,
