Thanks, actually went up and fished Barnwell, caught lots of vegetation. Haha.

Been awhile sorry, needing any info on Lake Warren in SC. Went and took a look today, planning on fishing it this weekend, looking to see if anyone has fished it before & what to look for, thanks for the help.

Thanks for all the replys guys, I think Ill try to return it, rod and reel only cost $57, and I got attached to it somehow, but we'll see how it goes. I do believe Im gunna head out in the morning and entice a few to jump on the ol'e line. Thanks again. 8-)

Hi everyone Reuben from SC, first time posting. I recently purchased a new baitcasting reel. Today I was out fishing, everything was going fine, then all the sudden the brake wouldnt set when I tried to reel the line in. :'( Looking thru the posts I saw some fixes for common problems (see below). I guess my reel question would be, can I fix this or should I have it professionaly fixed, or just buy a new reel? Im all ears for some serious help, thanks all. Q: Thumb bar / button will not pop up after handle is turned. A: Cause #1: Thumb bar / button or release slider spring is bent or broken. Solution: Replace thumb bar / button spring or release slider spring. Cause #2: Dirt / debris in release slider. Solution: Clean and relubricate release slider.
