Troubleshooting
Line twisting during retrieve
Check your line roller for debris and ensure you are reeling against tension rather than winding line back onto the spool while it is slack.
Drag feels sticky or inconsistent
Clean the drag knob area and ensure the felt washers are not overly saturated with heavy grease; ensure the knob is tightened correctly.
Excessive wobble during cranking
Verify that the reel is mounted securely to the rod seat and that the handle nut is tightened completely.
