[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1472101, member: 13432"] A lot of it will depend on the reel design itself, but I'll give it a shot. I had a little cheap spinning reel(that I actually got for free when someone threw it away) and it had the same trouble yours did, even though it was well used. I took the bail and line assembly apart piece by piece, cleaned out all the friction areas, and applied new grease on all those areas and it did wonders. I will agree with DW though, about manually flipping it back over. I got in the habit of doing that anyway trout fishing, as once you get practiced doing it, it becomes automatic, and if one hits while you're fumbling with the reel trying to pop the bail you might lose him.
