Title: 6500CS Pro Rocket Question
Post by: Redfish King on October 11, 2012, 12:39:59 AM
I just got this reel on line new.It looks awesome and feels great--11 bearings !! But Im sending back for an exchange.If you hold the spool down and turn the handle you get nasty grinding of gears.So whats wrong with this thing?

Dont laugh -- There is another little set of hands in this house. The spool was adjusted 100% to the left. I centered it up and all is well!!! Good thing Im very excited to use it !!!

I hope you didn't yell. I'm sure the little hands just wanted to help dear ol' Dad.

11 bearings?
Where have they hidden all of them?

Sounds like one of those JDM Rockets, The regular Pro Rocket only has 2BB + IAR, but some of those JDM:s go wild on the bearing count... :)
