I'va Had the same problem occaisionally, where the line tends to "pile up" on one side of the spool slightly. Two things you can try: Bend the top of the line guide slightly, away from the side where it piles up most, or, as you are spooling line on the reel, use your fingers to pull the line toward the "low" side of the spool. I've had this problem with Penn reels more than I have with Shimano or Diawa. I think it's just a matter of a poorly engineered level wind.
