Yeah your right. When i got it, it had been sitting in a cold fed ex truck for a while...

You read it right. And yes the spool spins freely. Thank you, may do the job!

Do you mean does the handle spin freely? It does.

Hey, so i need someones help. I just ordered a new shimano curado and right when i opened it up and reeled it, it felt very stiff. If i were to spin it as hard as i could it would probably only get 5 turns. I was wondering what i could do to get it to operate right. I lubed the breaks a little and that sort of a helped and loosened it up but it definitely wasnt the problem. Someone please let me know...
