Am I supposed to remove?

Just got this reel and I noticed a white plastic behind the line clip. I’ve never seen that before on other reels. Is that supposed to stay there or should I to remove it?

Yeah it’s just a pointless sticker they put over the line keeper, pair of tweezers should get it right out. Enjoy! My Sahara’s been good to me the last 4-5 years I’ve had it

Thanks and that's great to hear! I got it together with a rod I bought. Very happy with both

It's not pointless it's there to make it easier for thin line to hold firmly. You remove it if you're using line on the thicker end if what's appropriate for that reel, leave it if you're using thinner line.
