So I decided to do a deep cleaning on my baitcasters for the first time. I started with a BPS pro qualifier. Everything went pretty smoothly and got the reel back together. It is functional and cast better than new, but I can feel some resistance while reeling in. Any ideas on what might be wrong? I know a lot of reels are different but any common things I could check? Thanks

First thing I'd check is yo pull the spool, loosen the cast control cap and reinstall the spool. If that doesn't do it contact me offline and I'll troubleshoot with you.

Well that seems to have fixed it. I feel like one of my customers who brings a truck into the shop and I show them its something stupid simple. Thanks mike

 

Mind explaining a little about what was happening?

If the cap is too tight the spool shaft hits it keeping the spool itself from seating properly. Glad I could help. Merry Christmas.
