JCiurej34 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I just recently bought a Revo STX because it was discounted. I have heard great things about this reel. I got it today in the mail only to find out that the tension knob does not seem to work. I had it tightened all the way down and a 3/16 oz weight fell like a rock. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if they know any way to fix it, otherwise I'm just going to send it back. Quote
BASSHUNTER1961 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Check to be sure the shims are in the knob.. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 Pull the cap off and see if the brass ring is still there. There is a tiny bump on one side. It goes facing the reel. I have to really crank down hard on mine even with small jig. Quote
SoCalFisher Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I think mine has this same problem. Quote
JCiurej34 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 I took it off and the bump is facing the reel I'm just going to send it back. Quote
TNBassin' Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Contact abu Garcia first. They are awesome about sending parts out quickly at no charge. They sent me 2 new side plates for my sx because the brake dial would get stuck at a certain spot. Took 2 days to arrive. Quote
JCiurej34 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Alright thanks a lot for the help. Quote
