Lunker Addict Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I just purchased this reel a couple of weeks ago and it has been acting weird. Every now and then when I start retrieving a bait the whole spool spins so I am not able to retrieve the line. I have the drag tight and it will still spin freely. After a while of keeping the line loose and spooling the line by hand it will start to work properly. Has anybody had an issue like this? I am thinking that I am going to take it back but I wanted to make sure that it was not an operator error issue. Thank you all for your time. I am hoping that I didn't get a dud. Thanks, Jeremy Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Definitely doesn't sound like operator error. I've had my Procyon EX for nearly a year and have not experienced any issues with it. Quote

Super User Jeff H Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 What kind of line do you have on it? Quote
Lunker Addict Posted May 30, 2015 Author Posted May 30, 2015 What kind of line do you have on it? 30lb braid Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 backing under the braid? Anyway....I'll bet this is your problem and there is nothing wrong with the reel. Quote
Lunker Addict Posted May 30, 2015 Author Posted May 30, 2015 Never done backing in the past but I will give it a shot and see if it works. Thanks for all of the help. Quote
Lunker Addict Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 No backing was in fact the problem. Thank you for all of the help. Quote
Nickthebassman Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Did you put mono backing on it and then the 30lb braid? Quote
