The Monkey Reel that died

Fishie · 11-12-05, 10:11 PM

Guys I don't know what happened to my baitcaster. I was out fishing and it just started hollering like a monkey and crap. I don't know what happened to it because I caught like 15 on it and fished all day with it and then after hollering the reel locked up or something and I can push the button but the line doesn't come out and when I start to crank the button goes back up.Line will not come out however. I think Zooker had something like this a while ago. What do you guys think the problem is?

how long have you had the reel, what kind is it

Sounds like a paw or worm gear went bad.

Pro Qualifier had it about 3 months?

I'm with PnJ-if you have only had it that long I'd take it back. BPS is pretty good about taking care of the customers that buy their brands.

i just bought a 130$ pfluger president, awsome reel

take the side cover off check to see if there is some kind of lube in it. i am betting that a squealing bearing did not cause the no cast defect..more than likly some thing broke..

For once I am with Zooker

Do that and also check for debre like Sand.. a little squealing won't hurt a thing if it performs allright, its just annoying

Come on children, a dry bearing will not make the reels engage/disengage button appear to be broken. Use that head of yours for something other than a mobile hat rack. Take the reel back and get a new one if they will allow you to do so.P N J
