Hey ya’ll, so I recently bought my first spinning reel at Walmart, gimme a break im broke lol, and everything works fine except this one little quirks that I can’t figure out.
When reeling in, the handle will sometimes get caught on the bail and I’ll have to give it a little tug to spring free. This happens about every 3rd or 4th rotation.
I’ve read elsewhere that it could be a bent bail (which doesn’t seem to be the case, maybe) or there’s a missing buffer in the handle.
Im an amateur at this kinda stuff and I have no clue if it’s a missing piece in the handle that gives it a buffer between the bail and the reel, or if the bail is bent more outwards than it should be.
Any help is much appreciated!
