Hmmm. I have three Cabelas Depthmaster III (30 Series) reels and love them. One is about 20 years old and the other two are at least 10 years old. Never had an issue with any of them except a sticky line counter once in a while. I just clean them up and they are ready to go again. Caught tons of kokanee at the Gorge as well as lots of cutthroat and lake trout out of Bear Lake. The gears are metal so I have never wore out a set yet. What is the issue you've had with yours? Are they the same make/model as I listed above?
