ok guys i just took my reel apart (all the way down to the Pinion gear)and put it back together today. I re-lubed all the bearings and the Pinion gear and the main drive shaft. My reel is still sounding like something is out of place when I cast (only when i cast). The Pinion gear was still in good condition. My last resort would send it into Daiwa. Any other opinions or suggestions?

I was fishing with my lexa 300 and i push down the spool release.( it must have been half enganged) amd then i casted but the lure just whipped my rod hard. I felt stupid so i went to cast again. Now when i cast it sounds like something is grinding inside the reel(almost like a reel with a chip in it), i can no longer make accurate casts and pitches with it. It is no longer smooth. Anybody else have this situation? Or know if it is a simple fix or should i send it in to get repaired? thanks

I have a dawai lexa 300 with a dawai inshore rod ( this rod is a beef stick). It says it can only cast 1oz lures(max) but i have caught fish on it with a 6 inch hudd. I have a st croix spinning and i am not a big fan also. The rod would have to be 7' and under since im a shore fisherman

Anything lighter than 1 oz. i will have it pired on a lews tournament pro speed spool with #12 fluoro. Thank you

So i got a bass pro gift card for christmas anf i racked up some serious reward points during my christmas shopping. I am in need of a rod for throwing light t-rigs, small topwaters and cranks. The rod options i have come down to are... Bps carbonlite Bps carbonlite micro guide Duckett ghost Lews custom speed stick St Croix mojo bass Want to know which is the best value. Which ones to avoid. Thank you

I am searching for a good kayak big enough to stand in. I was looking at the sun dolphin sportsman. I know it isnt a kayak but i just need a small vessel to get me on the water. let me know any good brands/models

Rancho Cucomonga as in the Los Angeles area Thanks man i already emailed shimano and they havnt replied....... so i guess thats my next option. Im really looking forward to throwin those big swimbaits with this sexy reel!

everything is fine with the spool when I took off the side plate and I turned the handle it was grinding again. and I forgot to mention earlier that the reel when it first started to grind it had something rattling inside of it.

I purchased a Shimano Cardiff 300a from Bass Pro yesterday and when I took it out of the box in the store the reel felt just fine. When I got in the car the reel had an unknown spot of friction on it, it felt rough. We were already 2 hours away from the store (Rancho Cucamonga, Los Angeles traffic was bad) and there was no going back. When i got home I reel was really grindy and I was afraid if I reel it anymore it would break. I have all the original papers that came in the box and the receipt. I have already contacted Shimano about this. Should i contact Bass Pro?
