Gamakatsu,<br><br>I tried openening it all the way up. I think one of 2 things is wrong.<br><br>1, the mechanism on the side is either frozen up and not releasing inside the reel....or...<br>2, the bearings are shot. I might try to add smoothie bearings and drag discs and see if that helps. Any other suggestions? <br><br><br><br>
