Explain this to me.

There is a magseal bearing and a seal to stop water entering the side plate, both of which are located behind a cap which also has a seal, so basically dont need to be there because water should be stopped at the cap.

Then, there are 3 water drain holes in the body (plus the opening under the free-spool thumb bar) that allow water in anyway.

All overhead reels have these drain holes, but why try to seal something that can't be sealed.

I dont understand. Someone enlighten me.

The bottom of this screw has corroded into the frame, and it broke off when unscrewing it.

There's a first time for everything.

Now, to extract the broken piece.

When you put braid onto a spool, this doesn’t cut it.
The customer brought the reel in saying it had a problem, but the line was on loose, it was spinning on the spool, and had burried into itself so badly that I had to cut the line off.

If you dont have the means to spool your reel correctly, just pop into a tackle shop to get it done.

Also, I discovered you can spool up too tight. One reel I had in last week actually compressed the Saragosa 25k spool, and the black screw‐on drag washers cover under the spool started to fall off the threads.
Now that is TOO TIGHT!!!

I am slightly concerned as to why the locating pin in this Talica shaft is so small, barely clearing the sides of the shaft, while every other reel with the same design is much longer.

My concerns may be unrealistic 🤔🤔🤔

Maybe an engineer can comment.

Unfortunately, this one spent some time sightseeing at the bottom of the ocean.

The best thing to do in this instance is to drop it in a bucket of fresh water and take it in to get serviced asap.
