IAR bearing performance

[basto]

Talking to a guy in my local tackle shop recently and he told me that if your IAR bearing slips, it`s shot and needs replacing.
I have pushed my "Torium that clicks" with a shark on, on occasion and felt the IAR slip, but have found that the next time I used the reel, it was OK again.
So, I know this is not good for it, but it seems to recover.
Anyone have the same experience?

was it something I said

not at all. if it slips once, it will always be suspect.  it's like a girlfriend that cheats on you once.......

If you have grease in the IAR often times it will slip a little, clean it out and lube with a light oil and check it again.

I hope you are not speaking from experience Alan.

OK thanks for that.
