You get what you pay for...

first off, this is exactly why I don't buy 2-4 cheap combos a year. but instead save up and buy one, MAYBE two a year.

Before Guntersville last year, I needed a reel for the flippin' stick ym dad built me. I was looking at an Abu silvermax, but couldn't find a lefty. So I got a reel from gander mtn. It's GM brand, but I believe it's made by Pinnacle. I used it in guntersville and wasn't too happy with it. haven't really used it much since. Till today...

I was casting in my yard and playing with my cats. (I cut the hook off a tube head and stick it inside a tube. makes a great practice plug and it won't hurt my cats when they catch it.) Anyways, I got it stuck in our one of like 3 trees... go figure. I was using 30lb braid, so I quickly reeled in the slack and gave it a pull. instead of the lure ocming out of the tree like it should have, the handle of my reel turned backwards, as well as the spool. It resulted in a backlash. it doesn't do it all the time, but it does it right after I reel in.

Somethings definately up with the anti-reverse, but I'm not sure what. I'm thinking on taking it back instead of fixing it. Any idea's what exactly it could be???

Thanks,
