Bad reel?

Z-Man · 07-25-11, 12:01 PM

I bought another Curado 200E7 from TW last week. I put it on a 7' MH Crucial and spooled it with 15lb. Floroclear. I finally had a chance to take it out last night and man was I disappointed. It wasn't smooth at all, couldn't cast more than about 20 feet and the retrieve was choppy as all get out. Here is the question. When I got it I pulled it out of the box and opened the side to adjust the breaks. When I did the spool came sliding out the side. Is that supposed to happen? It had been sitting in a boiling hot UPS truck for a few days so I cleaned and re-oiled it and put it back together. This morning I took some line off the spool, thinking maybe I put too much on. Any ideas? Time to send it back?

Thanks for the help in advance.
