Gentlemen - thanks for these posts - I have been looking for this info for 28 years give or take. My dad and I bought 4 of these reels when they came out. 89-92 I think. And they have never worked right - it used to make me so angry. In the early 2k, I took them to a pro reel shop for clean up and after that I still had the same problem; which was both casted poorer than the pocket fisherman, but one was always worse than the other. My index points line up on magnet selection 3, so i guess I have a problem. These were great aside from this problem. IN 2003 I bought two AG Amb - EON 5600, one is being dragged around by a carp in Lake Granbury and the other one I have - I have the same problem with both of these and I don't know what to do. Anyone actually buy an EON in 02 or 03 and have it work? I see they are still selling for over a hundred, not sure why? (aside from brand) Thanks for your help on this...
