wareagle83 Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I have noticed on my new Citica that the reel handle has some play in it. Grabbing the reel handle, and pulling away and pushing towards the actual reel bpdy I can feel and see a very small amount of give in and out. Just wondered if this is of course normal, or should I make the drive back to Cabelas Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 21, 2010 Super User Posted June 21, 2010 The tension knob is loose, when you tighten the tesnion knob the sideplay on the spool and handle disappears. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 My handle does the same thing. I chalk it up to manufacturing tolerances. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted June 21, 2010 Super User Posted June 21, 2010 That is the normal tolerance of the bushing in the crank shaft assembly The in & out play on the crank shaft has nothing to do with the cast control setting. The crank shaft is connected to the set plate and the play is from the tolerance of the bushing that is employed on the base of it. Tight Lines!!! Quote
