My shimano caenan is acting up. I just got it from a friend and it has scuffs. But I thought it worked fine. When ever I cast it the line stops feeding out. It literally catches on something and then backlashes. Every cast. I tried switching line three times but it keeps catching. I cast and the line stops feeding at the same length and same spot everytime. Does any know anything that could be wrong? I really need to know tonight because I'm going fishing in the morning. Thanks in advance guys.

Are you using braid?

No. I did at first and it caught on it, and not I switched to bps mono, suffix mono, and cajun mono. Nothing works

Yikes. Do you feel comfortable disassembling reels? If you need it by the morning, best I can say is watch 

 

 

and do some routine maintenance to see if you can work a miracle. 

Ok thanks. Any other suggestions? Or anyone with experience in this problem?

Press the thumb bar down and pull out line out manually by hand to simulate a cast (not very fast though) and see if it catches. Keep your finger on the spool so it doesn't overrun on you while you are doing this test.

Does it catch?

Yes @aprw1 it still catches
