"New Reels, Loose Screws"

It is not uncommon for new reels to come from the factory with loose screws these days.  Always check the screws on a new reel before using to ensure that they are tight, and be sure to check them after using as well.  This simple little trick can greatly extend the life of your reel.  Loose screws can allow play in a reel and wear gears and bearings very quickly.  Keep the screws tight and you will keep the problems down!
