abu 7000

#1 Post by lumpy »

i have an old abu 7000, one of the old skool rough ground reels!! that i use alot for shadding off the boat. the thing is that if i wind it rapidle with nothing attached to the line. the spool is spinning freely without resistance and then stop turning the handle, the spool keeps rotating and making a clicking kinda noise. dont think this is meant to happen. also when i start to real in when there is pressure on especially when wrecking the spool slips and its not the drag being loosened or anything. has anybody had a similar problem????
