Previous Feedback
Comments: Just received my casting reel, 8.1:1, left hand, today. Right out of the box the reel started squeaking as I turned the handle. I've been playing with the reel for about an hour now and its still squeaking. I tried putting just a little bit of reel oil on the level wind assy, but it's not helping. Hopefully the squeaking will go away once I take it out on the water. Also there's a lever underneath the right side plate next to a "lock" picture that you can switch back and forth, but I'm unable to locate any info on what the use of that lever is for. I've emailed Seviin and waiting for their response. No manual in the box. I'm used to metal frame reels, this one feels different (you get what you paid for). The numbers on the line memo is so small you will need a magnifying glass to see the numbers, in my opinion it's useless. Nice looking handle. I'm hoping to get at least a couple good years or more out of this reel.
