see if bps will fix it.if it's under a year it should be free.if not it'll probably cost not to much.dirt probably got in it and damaged something.

Weider Please tell me you didn't get braided line snagged up and you pulled the line free by pointing the rod tip to the snag and pulling against the reels spool until it freed up ? If that happened you most likely bent the spool shaft ever so slightly.If its not the case, I recommend cleaning the ring and pinion gears with simple green all purpose cleaner using a toothbrush to remove all debri on the gear teeth.rinse it with tap water, dry it and apply light grease on the gears , apply grease on the peice where the pinion gear rides on to prevent friction wear.The other thing is to remove the line pawl guide system and brush it down using simple green as well.Make sure the teeth on the line pawl dog is not chipped or worn.Do not grease it but apply a heavier oil.I use Abu Garcia Silicote oil on the line pawl. If it still does it, check to see if you have got dirt in the anti reverse roller bearing.I use a clean paper towel rolled around a pencil to roll the needle bearings as it wipes any foreign debri from it. You don't want to apply oil to this bearing, leave it dry.Anything other than that, I would have to see it in order to dianose it.Remember you have to tighten the drag before the handle will push inward to unscrew it to take the reel apart.

grit in the levelwind will make it grind terribly.p and j,i've seen guys wreck reels that way and then blame it on the reel.
