FishingFLA Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Hi, Im new to the forums, and honestly am pretty new to fishing. I just bought a new reel last week(Abu Garcia Black Max.) When i first used the reel the magnetic braking system would click as i adjusted it, but now it just smoothly turns into position. The brakes are still being adjusted correctly. Just wanted to know if this is normal, and if its not how do i go about fixing this. Thanks in advance for the info and help! Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, a reel that new should be replaced under warranty. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 10, 2013 Super User Posted June 10, 2013 Not normal. Something is broke. Quote

TNBassin' Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 There is a small v shaped metal tab that is molded in the brake dial that rests in notches around where the brake dial rests in the side plate. Sounds like that tab broke loose. Quote
