Have you guys ever had this problem with shimano reels?

I've only seen it occur after saltwater did what it does best
This is the first time i've seen it with a new unused reel

Same thing with my Australian delivered Aldebaran 50. No side plate gap, fit is excellent. Waiting on a reply from local reps

Things like that only happen on the "junk" reels doesn't it??

Of course, I'm just kidding. I'm neither snob or cheapskate, I use whatever.

I came across your videos a couple of weeks ago. When I heard you mention TT, I figured you must be a member so I subscribed.

Just receive my XG version and the outside dial is just fine. Bantum 1 has said if it is tight, just keep moving it with force and it will loosen up. He also said not to oil it.

A few days ago at Academy I felt one (and another sporting good store), showed one of the fishing section guys, and he took a key out of his pocket and put mega torque on it, freed up instantly, kind of clawed up the plastic a tiny bit, but oh well. I would have probably went more gentle, but either way he got it to work.
