22 JDM Sahara right hand difference in feel

There was a post a few months ago talking about when they switched the handle to the right side it caused it not to feel smooth. This is a response for that post, I couldn't find the original. Also sorry for the long delay, I didn't notice it till recently. I was originally using it for drop shot so it didn't really load the reel up so I never felt a difference. Then I replaced the combo with a Tatula for drop shot and stopped using the Sahara. Fast forward to now and I decided to try and repurpose the combo with light reaction baits. With a small quarter ounce crank bait I started feeling a tick. I tried oiling both bearings on the main gear and the line roller and there was little change. Next step is to do a tear down and grease the main gear. It feels like the main gear is ticking. I hope they don't have the same issues with the nasci or Miravel. Or hopefully it's just a JDM thing and the US models were updated. Once again sorry for the delay.
