fille9 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 PLEASE HELP My reel dosen't seem to cast as far as it should. I have adjusted the controls to offer the least resistance but it seems the spool is still being held back on each cast. Am I missing something in it's setup up?? Where can I send this reel to be tweaked? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Iadicicco Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 ABC7 Ceramic Bearings will help. You can order them from Mike's Reel Repair. A Ceramic Pawl may also help. Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangrove Jack Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 You need to find out what it is that is causing your reel not to freespool properly. Try the foll: 1. Remove 2 of the casting brakes (considering it has all 4 of them on it now). 2. Spin the spool in your hand both fast and slowly and see if it is sticking somewhere. Basically by elimination try to find the cause - bearings sticky or spool touching frame, etc. 3. A levelwing mechanism fault could also cause a problem. Ensure that the pawl is not worn out and is clean and lightly lubed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy z Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 If the reel is new, they put a load of grease on the level wind and around the brake drum, where your cent. brake blocks make contact. That could be problem. AKN-2 USS Sagittarius BE ENCOURAGING, NOT DISCOURAGING <*((())))>< <*((())))>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
