Hello
I know there has been lots of threads warning of the quality of this series of Abu, due to Far East assemblies, but I have bought one nonetheless (bargin price)
However, I have received the reel, and I am finding that when reeling in (straight from the box, no line and held in my had only) there is a noticable resistance, and the handle does not freely spin more than one revolution when rotated and released, unlike my other new reels (different makes and models) that rotate about 3 revolutions. when released (I do have experience with many other reels).
This is the 2nd identical reel that I have received, as I returned the first one for this same reason.
Can someone else who has this reel let me know if this is a usual characteristic?
(the problem is not an issue with the spool, as this rotates freely with no resistance).
Thanks
Pross
