Hi Alan    Thanks for the reply  ive stripped it down today to see why it was shuddering  it was full of salt ? and the dragplate as i bit of corrosion on it ive cleaned it off using  vinegar  and rebuilt with a lick of (Cal`s) light grease  all seam`s well now  All my other TLD reel`s (25s)  have Fiber  washers as STD and ive upgraded them with carbontex   tightlines Alain
