yes but the noise started with normal fishing motions and is still present...

I think since I am hypochondriac about reels. I do not seem to recall this noise before. I sent it to Lews, told them the problem and they cleaned it and sent it back, same noise... Is this seem normal to you? When resistance is placed on the spool it makes almost like a zinging sound and you can feel it in the gear box... video is below do not know how well you can get an idea...Thank you.

caught my biggest dupage forrest preserve bass a week ago on a black frog. dont think i have ever had a bass smash a frog that hard. just measured it with my rod and it was 19 maybe a little more. then went to busse on saturday, first time on the kayak this year. was catching fish pitching jig to shoreline cover. no big ones though...

832. i do not trust power pro after i saw a friend snap 30lb on a back lash... granted this guy has not idea what he is doing but 30lb power pro should not snap like that in my opinion...

not impossible. but in my opinion unlikely. i am going to take some braid and run it all around all the guides, and if nothing i dont know what else to try...

well i will just see if it happens again thanks all. just weird that the line broke in same place both times. thought for sure it would be a guide issue but i cant find anything wrong with them. will check them again though.. just sucks because now my confidence in the rod is severely hurt and i like the rod a lot... the break happened so far back in the spool is the weird part... hard to think picking out a previous backlash would cause this twice especially with the p line...

ya my drag is locked down all the way as this is my frog rod. i caught some fish today and it was better but still digs in at the point of setting the hook... nothing else to do...i will live with it for now. i will try another line next time...

for the forseable future i am also not using flouro. when i saw the flouro just float on top of the water i was surprised as i thought it was suppose to sink... also suffix seige just handles so much better i love that line.

So this has happened twice to me. only thing that was the same was the rod which is a kistler klx 6'9 mh f. one day I cast 1/2oz spinner bait with a team lews custom pro and 15lb invizx and the line broke seemingly near the reel or inside the reel. I figuered i had a nick in the line. i had to send that reel in for some warranty work so i put on my shimano curado i. this time i was throwing a 3/8oz chatterbait on 15lb p line flouroclear. the line broke mid cast seemed like near the reel like last time. both the lines on these reels were spooled on not a month ago. so i figured it has to be the rod since that is the only thing that was the same both times this happened. so i checked the rod with a cue tip and cant seem to find any noticeable rough spots in the guides... but i do not know what else it could be? it is just odd that both times the line broke around the same spot both times. any idea of what it could be? any other things i should check or another way to check the guides? there was not backlash that stopped the line either. the line broke and just sailed through the guides with probably like 20ft of line laying on top of the water and me scratching my head...i was able to retrieve both the line and lures though...

its just weird because this happened on my curado i and now the lews. i took out the line to the backing and reeled it back in super tight will see if it helps but do not think it will. thanks all.

im using suffix 832 and the reel is a lews team custom pro and much more backing and i would be too close to reaching it during a cast and i have watched your video glenn. this was same last year too i thought maybe it was the line or reel but both are different this year and still same problem...

I have 50 pound braid and every time I catch a fish the line digs in and I gotta do a little cast and pull out the line until it is free. Is this standard or something I can do about it?

went to forrest preserve pond yesterday and today. one on a walking bait and 3 or 4 on frog yesterday. today 2 on a chatterbait. different ponds. nothing of size.

how is lake springfield? thinking of giving it a go this year.

glad to hear they are ok. the boat is at the bottom of the lake or did they save it?

i have an old stx that i got back in high school, so it is at least 9 years old, and untill this winter i have never serviced it. now granted, there were years where i did not fish at all, but it still worked flawlessly and was basically the only reel i used, and it had been submerged in water a few times. and even this year i didnt break down the whole reel, just cleaned worm gear and took off side plate. the thing is a tank.

went to a forrest preserve pond, first time out this year a week and a half ago, stayed for 20 mins but caught one on a lipless. felt great to get back out there. super excited about this year. and LastCast i subbed to your youtube channel. i for sure want to fish central il lakes this year and also southern wisc. 2-3 hour drives are very doable for the weekend

spinnerbait or a hollow body frog

how hard is it to control these things? say if you are throwing a crankbait is the boat turning and pulling while you reel? i have a little 10 foot kayak and i get so frustrated, i cant even throw a spinnerbait without re positioning every cast.

crazy!

was really rooting for Evers but gonna be tough to catch Christie now. Barring anything extraordinary it is pretty much game over.

thanks all. i just never had 2 of the same reel so it just kinda threw me. makes sense that they would not be exactly the same though.

so I bought one from tacklewarehouse on black friday and one from ebay when they had a 20 percent off sale and i notice slight differences between the two. one of them, the knobs spin way longer than the other. and one when you spin the handle, spins longer than the other one. is this weird or am i just being weird? also, the reel from ebay i got for 219, plus the 20 percent off. how do they sell reels for under retail? i think i am just being paranoid but if anyone has any input i would appreciate it.

hey all i am looking at either a 10e or a bass hunter. my question is if the bass hunter is worth the extra hundred dollars.

yup i went out and checked my revo and it does indeed tighten the same way. im crazy. seriously thank you all.
