Evening all,
A new pin arrived today, a Fox Bob James one. Looks nice, it is light but spins for 25 seconds and feels a little coffee grinder like in the palm.
I don't remember either of my Okuma's feeling like this when new.
Do I have a duff one?
Should I send it back, or maybe try and fit better bearings?
Advice gratefully received!
P.S I know that a 3 minute spin does not mean a brilliant reel and it is about start up inertia, but 25 seconds with the micro drag fully open?
Kind Regards,
Julian
