1st baitcaster broke, help!!
I got my first baitcaster this past summer and have been practicing. I got a bad backlash yesterday and once I got it out I noticed a problem. The handle will crank with no problem but the spool does not turn. I can turn it with my thumb but the crank will not do it. I took the line of and the spool turned. It seems as though it won't turn with any resistance. It is an inexpensive reel, but I did not want to go all out with the first one. It is an Abu Garcia silvermax. It seems as though the gears are stripped or something, but I have no idea. Since it is relatively new I don't want to take it apart and void the warranty. Any help please, what should I try??
