Title: Penn 225 LD

Alan,

Great site. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I have a Penn 225 LD, about a 2003 or so model. The drag is binding and doesn't perfom normally. This is the only lever drag reel I have ever owned, so I have not attempted to "explore" the insides. Is this something I could reasonably expect to fix myself, of is this one of those things that should be sent to a shop? Any suggestions would be welcome. Also, it appears that they only made his reel for a few years. Was it a lemon?

Dan

thanks. take a look at the 40 gls. it is very similar. i charge $40 to go through a reel like this, plus parts and return shipping. i'm betting you could do this as well. worst case, you could ship it to me in a zip lock. give it a try! alan

Thanks Alan. I'll give it a go, and try to keep track of all of the pieces.

I appreciate your time.
