For the past year or so I have positioned these reels equally with many other reels I have fished. But when I took newest one (Oct. 07) of the two I own out of the box to oil it, I noticed that something didn't feel right. When I turned the handle at a medium to fast speed and then came to a stop, the spool would keep spinning a little and make a clunking sound.

I am taking a guess that it is the anti-reverse that is causing the problem. If my guess is wrong please let me know.

Has anybody else had this issue?

I checked into getting this reel repaired and the decided to ask my local tackle shop about it. They were kind enought to take it back, return it to Quantum and let me exchange it.

Long story short, I took my other one back as well and came home with two new Shimano Stradics.

Problem solved.......... ;D

So much for the Quantum/Loomis Posse.
