bigt89 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 My revo needed new line so I replaced it after doing maintenance etc. filled it up to the max , and i put line conditioner on yet it still would bAck lash . At least I think it's backlash . The line will just get real lose then get caught up eventually. I don't know if one knob is even working for the free fall. I'm using a senko , and listen it to point it will come out it free falls, get it as tight as I can, and it still free falls . The drag is set . If I recall this happened when I first got the real too, and I recall it seeming like it was easier to cast the less line I had on it , and to a certain point when I think I only had. 80-100 yards left on it I did not even have to keep my thumb on spool and it was fine . Yes I know you are not supposed that , and I did have my thumb on spool tonight . It's been 2 years since I last fished . Got hurt last year, and missed the whole season so I forgot what the fix was . Quote
Fish_Whisperer Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 When you refill a spool to the max, it is going to be easier to cast, and will also be easier to backlash. Adjust your brakes and make them a little stronger, it should help. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 10, 2014 Super User Posted August 10, 2014 If your spool tension knob does not stop your lure from free-falling, then your reel has a problem. I would suggest that you send it to Delaware Valley Tackle (DVT), one of our sponsors, for servicing. Quote

I would definately have that checked out. Quote
bigt89 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Good news and some dumb news . Problems fixed Issue: i was rushing trying to get done by dark oiling up the reel , and putting fresh line on I had the gear in backwards on the tiny knob by reel . Works great now , and I see what you mean by it should be easier with more line . I'm casting probably twice as far not even trying to go far . Quote
