Fishing reel
#1
I am a new member to this website and wanted to share something I saw last night . I work parttime in a sporting goods store ( supports my habit) . A guy came in last night and said he wanted to buy a new spinning reel. He said he had tried the expensive reels with no luck ( he had a 1000 Stradic in his hand ) so would try a less expensive reel . He bought a 750 Sedona ,paid for the reel , handed me the Stradic and said to junk it .
I am the kind of person that likes to figure out why something doesn't work . The reel was very sluggish and the anti-reverse only worked sometimes . Suspected right away that he had lubed the on way clutch , boy was I right . Took off the spool , lube was everywhere ,took off the rotor everything was packed with a heavy blue grease ,almost looked like wheel bearing grease .Took off the gear cover and nothing but old dried up grease was inside . Long story short ,should have a pretty decent reel when it is all cleaned up and lubed . So I guess the old adage more is not better certainly applies.
