Second season using this reel, this year the bail is occasionally snapping closed midcast. Not every time, but enough times to cost me some lures. I sent it in to Daiwa for service, and they are asking for $60 as a "performance spinning reel" instead of the $30 for the regular spinning reel. They tell me it's because of the magseal, too bad I couldn't locate that information before I mailed it to them. Now I'm trying to decide if I should pony up the $60 or tell them to mail it back and just remove the bail myself. Note that they recommend having the reel serviced annually. That will add up quickly. Or skip the service and buy a new one every 3 1/2 years. Or buy a different reel. I'm back to using my trusty 704. I'm getting a workout, but hey, it's dependable. Now I need to figure out how to cover the chips on the spool edge as I'm sure it is abrading the line and also costing me some distance.
