My First Shimano Reel!

how much oil is too much oil?  ive just been putting about a drop in places

Right, I just noticed the pitch changes when I adjust the cast control knob. I think its where the gold spool part rubs its opening. But I agree, I'm just paranoid as heck. Something weird though... My box came without any lube, so I called *** and they are supposedly sending me an even better lube for free.

Citicas do not come with the oil vial, don 't know if Curados come wit oil vial, Chronarchs and Calaises do come with the oil vial.

mine came with the oil vial, and if you have your spool out does it make a clicking type noise when if you reel?

The *** guy I called said they were... He even went away from the phone and checked. Maybe you got jipped too...?

I don' use the brakes. I thumb all of my reels.

Yes because your pinion gear is now just free floting. The spool holds its straing and in correct alignment with the other gear. Its normal but dont keep doing it

I would too but for me too skip my jigs on the water it is just too hard without any help of the brakes.
