Metanium MGL 16 problem
So everything in my reel works fine but the free spool, it spins but it doesnt spin like it used too. I think i maybe over lubed the bearings but im not sure. Does anyone have any ideas? And does anyone know if the spool shaft bearing moves side to side where it sits or is it supposed to stay stationary.
Re: Metanium MGL 16 problem
It should have some movement on the shaft.
You could have a bad bearing, too much lube, oil on the spool shaft or in the center of the pinion gear. You could also have too much tension on the cast control.
Remember freespool does not always equal casting performance. A light spool will not spin as long as a heavy spool when testing because of the reduced mass.
