MCL169 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Okay I took off the screws and removed the spool and cleared off some line that got stuck in the gears behind the spool and now all is Well! Heavy Hooksetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will make become a good reel for the boat but I will look into another conventional that is better at handling sand. Maybe a largest size that will hold me down for bigger Predator fish. But I think this size would be good for most fishing that I do Conventional reels and sand don’t mix. Your Akios is made for beach fishing so don’t give up. You just have to handle them differently from sealed spinners like VS. just don’t let it fall on the sand or dunk it and you will be ok. How did you get sand in it anyway???

Birdsnester Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 If the line got behind the spool you probably have it over spoiled and the tensioner too loose. The side to side should be very minimal just enough to feel it move while still allowing a free spinning spool. Leave 1/8” of line before the top of the spool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get sand in it anyway??? he said his frame is just like mine. there is not space for a single grain to get in there,wind could do it. it will grind when sand gets in there for sure.

MCL169 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 There was too much line and too loose so the line got around the handle side. There was a piece left behind that I believe is the block. Sales said it would just improve distance but i kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH Dunno how it happened but you do need to be more careful with conventional reels. There is no way to seal them. Even rinsing them in the surf can get them full of sand. Don’t drop them on the sand and don’t dunk them. That’s all you can do really. Heavy Hooksetter and Beastly Backlash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
