Bitsmith2k Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 hey guys, got the abu combo courtesy of the tyler auction, and have a question about the reel (1003LP), seeing as i can't find a user manual anywhere, one of you guys/gals must be able to help.. does temperature affect the anti-reverse functionality? reason i ask, is that i've been out a few times playing around, getting the hang of it, and i've noticed that the anti-reverse sometimes works, most of the time it doesn't.. anytime i've been out casting into actual water its been at or below freezing, and the handle (on probably 90% of my casts) spins backwards.. a couple weeks ago, when it was warmer out, i was dinking around with it in the yard, and the anti-reverse was working like a charm.. the same thing from this past weekend, while I was playing with it inside, the anti-reverse never failed.. any ideas?

Ron Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yes, you are right, I've had similar happenings on a few of my reels. Once the reel is broke in they seem to be OK. Another thing I did with mine is heated the bearing up with a hair dryer and then submersed in 3in1 oil. Seemed to have done the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
