Penn 30 TW trouble with freespool

[Wasabi]

One of my 30 TW's was just serviced and doesn't free spool much at all. A half a turn or so. Anybody know what would cause that. Not sure if that's the one that got a new drag washer or not.

I bet Alantani could tell ya

I had 50vsw do the same thing after service. I took it back to the guy and it turned out to be two out of the four spacers in the reel were put in backward. I hope you issue is as simple as mine was. good luck

catch'em up

most commonly the bearings are packed with grease that is hardening. but this reel was just serviced, right? if it freespooled fine before hand and does not now, then there are a couple of places where the spool might be binding. it needs to go back to the guy that repaired it initially. in the mean time, take a look at this.......
