Looks like you need to take the end plate off Zutt's and take a look see!:cool:
One of the gears may be chipped. although sounds more like they might be a tad dry!
Lite machine oil is the go!(whistle)

Lite machine oil is the go
Ditto

Some after every trip and the drag loosen off will make the rings/reels last for ever.

A whize whiging Waaf from Noosa once talk me that or was that learnt me better.
or should that be Wise whinging RAAF Gentleman informed me of that trick many years ago.

Cheers Bones

This has also reminded me to go through all my reels and give them a bit of a service. I am getting similar problems. I remember the service your boat and trailer day we had a while back. It is a good idea to have a service your fishing gear day too. Rods, Reels and tackle.
