the retrive is sticking and then sometimes just jams it was brand new never bn used the seller e mailed me and sed it was never used unwanted gift ive loaded it with 12lb red ice i was float fishing with it and wen i tried to wind it in it was sticking than just jamed took it off and it is spinning ok but soon as i put soom weight on it it stiffens up
am no expert, but 2 things come to mind (1) if reel has been dropped or bashed and side plate been pushed in, , (2) if its had a canny birds nest and line got between side plate and frame,, line snapped and piece got trapped on cogs, . ,if not those problems why not try id fishing byker ask for ronnie to have look at it he's good with reels he might be able to sort it out
