rocknfish9001 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have had my pflueger trion for a full season now. I loved how smooth it was and the amazing casting abilities. But now that is gone. Its casting is blah now and it is no longer smooth. It makes a winding noise while reeling in and gets worse as the day goes on, especially when working spinnerbaits. I was wondering if this is because it needs to be greased or oiled, it did get wet once and i just took it apart and let it air dry. Any suggestions?

basspro48 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 My Supreme does the sane thing, and I haven't even had it for a year. I'm pretty much done with Pflueger now, I'm just gonna stick with Daiwa and Shimano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakySnook Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 This is why I stick to shimano or quantum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Gatorbassman Posted October 30, 2006 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2006 You need to have it cleaned and oiled. A season of fishing will do that to any reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 instant message me if you are wanting to sell it.If it still functions like its supposed to , all it needs is a cleaning and lube.I never liked the Trion I have, too wide,IMO, the Trion never casted that great, but I bought it cheap enough to not pass it up. Let me know if you want to sell it, or possibly want help to clean it, I am positive it can be smooth again in no time. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User dodgeguy Posted October 30, 2006 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2006 why do people think they can soak a reel and not clean and relube it?that's like not changing your car's engine oil and blaming the manufacturer when it blows up.btw,i've seen the same thing happen with diawa and shimano.try sending it back for warranty repair.maybe you'll get lucky.

When the reel got wet, it basically rinsed the reel oils out. You are using a dry system. Get the manual out and re-lub the reel according to that manual, or send it in to Pflueger..Tight Lines!!!
