twitchfish Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I have a 5 year old Fuego that I purchased off a member her (or TT, can't remember which) that was supertuned and sold because was just an extra. It performed flawlessly, I did do the amateur maintenance every year and now it is misbehaving. The casting distance is way short and retrieve seems rough. I took it apart as well as I can, cleaned and lubed. No change. I typically spool it with 30# Power Pro. I only use the Diawa oil and Reel Butter grease on the appropriate parts. Is there anything else I can try on an amateur level? It is going away in the winter for a cleaning anyway, just not ready to retire it for the season yet. Thanks, in advance, for all of your valuable insight. Twitch Quote

Super User .RM. Posted September 15, 2012 Super User Posted September 15, 2012 Your spool support bearings are getting sluggish. As posted send it in to Mike (DVT)... Tight Lines! Quote
