Hi, I would like to add my findings for anyone else that may run into this same issue. I have a penn battle 2 3000 which is an awesome reel and I’ve never had an issues with it. I disassembled the drag system HT100 to clean it all up and put it back together. I also took apart the HT100 drag adjustment knob on the top of the spool that clicks as your turn it, and once putting it back together (initially incorrectly) I realised the knob itself was no longer clicking as I turned it. I googled for anyone else that had the same problem and also for diagrams hoping they would should what goes where inside the knob but there is nothing on the internet for this based on my searches. Long story short (see pics) there is a tiny spring with a spring loaded ball bearing in the end of a little stainless cylinder. This gets placed base of spring in first and ball bearing side sticking out of the top of the knob facing the black disc with circular imprints all around it on the washer side. The spring loaded ball bearing rides across the divets in the black disc which creates the incremental clicking sound and feeling you get when you turn the knob. I hope my findings solve someone else’s headache one day! Thanks

Firstly my apologies to admin for originally posting in perhaps the wrong section of this forum. My story is that i started using a Battle 2 3000 with spiderwire on my 7' Ugly Stik Elite last week. Filled spool to approx 80% capacity. Terribly bothered with wind knots. Probably lost approx 30 metres line already. Line lay on spool looked fine so did not bother with either of spare washers in box. Seems to be spilling line over lip of spool as i retrieve which results in a right 'birds nest' on next cast. I do not close bail arm manually as I prefer to do this by hitting my distance and closing bail by turning handle. Would you advise trying a different brand of braid or perhaps changing or adding one or both of the spare washers? I have used quite a few brands of reel in my time and never had this issue! I love the smooth action of my Penn Battle 2 but I am really at my wits end! Thanks in advance. Bryan.

Hi, having problems with spiderwire braid looping over top of spool lip on retrieval. Have lost approx 30 mts braid on my first 2 outings. Now im anxious about refilling the spool in case it happens again! Reel used as it was out of box. Would either of the spare washers that came with it help sort out this problem? TIA, Bryan
