I have a Stradic 2500 FH (the white one), that I bought new at the beginning of this year. It is mounted on a 6'6" Compre, and spooled with 8lb P-Line CX Premium, and is my primary weightless plastics combo. The problem I am having with it, is about every 10th cast, the bail flips closed on its own, and is really getting annoying. Is there an adjustment or something I can make on my own, or is something going on it? Thanks, guys.

1) It may be an issue with the friction ring, which is a rubber - like ring located under the rotor. It works in conjunction with the bail trip lever and has been a known problem in the past.

2) If it's under a year old, Shimano will likely cover it under warranty. Contact Bantam 1 over at TT, he should be able to help you.

Alright, thanks, Bilgerat. I figured something like that was the case. I'll e-mail Bantam and see if he can set me straight with it.
