Got a text from a guy about his 130VIS.   Says it doesn't have enough drag to pull a Nomad lure??

Also says it's a known drag issue and that Penn wasn't any help?? 

He "heard" that the fix is a longer "something"! 

Anybody know of any drag issues on 130 VIS's?

  Sounds like a dog went to sleep if it is turning backwards

here's the schematic.  https://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/130vis.pdf there are three dogs.  this reel would have to be really messed up for all three dogs to fail.  you need the reel in hand.  the reports do not sound accurate.   :-\
