Need reel help real bad...
ALL of my baitcast reels are fouled up right now with the same problem. The line guide is sticking on the worm gear when it gets to the side of the reel. It could be either side, sometimes it sticks for a turn or two then keeps on going or sometimes it will stay stuck until I manually get it moving. If I apply pressure to the guide at all it doesn't get stuck, it doesn't take much, just leaving my finger on it is usually enough. Cleaned and lubed them but they still don't work right. Any ideas on what is wrong are appreciated, got 7 reels out of commission right now.

REELMAN has a thread in the classifieds, I may have to make a trip to Bell City this week if I can't figure this out. |
Bring them by the shop and I'll get them going. I appreciate a chance to work on your reels.
Thanks Reelman |

curados are capable of doing this too. amabassadors are famous for it. cleaning them up good and getting the excess lube out of the way would be a good thing, but he pawl needs to be changed. possibly the worm gears too.

sounds like ambassadors.. Underneath your line guide you'll see where you can unscrew it with a flathead screw driver. Unscrew it and you'll find a little cylindrical peice with a flat u-shaped thing coming off of it. (at least it used of look like a u) Look at it and its probably messed up, so run to academy at get you some new ones they aren't expensive like 3 bucks for a new one. I run threw them all the time. I wish i knew what they were called but i forget, cuz i started buying shimanos
