When picking u a trophy from the bank. Have and about 60 yards left on the spool after having t o break off. Casting about 3/4 the distance it was..Bought the reel three months ago. Absolutely loved the reel until this point. Is the decreased performance a product of less line on the spool , dropping it in the water, or does it sim ply need cleaned and the gears lubed up again ? I typically throw it six hours a week...

Thx in advance, I'm new to the higher end reels. Have it spooled wit # 15 invisix flouro

Having low line as you do, will drastically reduce casting performance and distance. However, since you mention it got dunked, I would clean and re-lube just to be sure.

So i'd say clean it to make sure no crud got in there, and then give her a good re-spool.

Good deal, thx!
