[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1472066, member: 7123"] I bought four identical small spinning combos with 4 lb test, a year or so back at Academy when they were on super sale, like $12 each. Idea being dedicated trout poles for me and kids. They looked really good, but now I see why these were on sale. These reels are super-difficult on the initial crank to make them pop the bale over before you start reeling. The nephews can't even get them started, and I have to use leverage by pushing on the handle with a thumb, while pulling with fingers on the center of the crank. PITA. They reel fine and dandy after the bale pops over though, and otherwise function fine. So, where exactly should I put some lube to try to get it loosened up? What kind of lube would be best? Any other fixes than lube? Throw away and start over? I wouldn't be out too much. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
