OK - as we move on to greener, more happy frontiers, I'm having a problem with my Calcutta 400. After a cast, turn the handle to engage the drive to the spool and there is no engagement and absolutely no connection between the handle/drive/pinnion & spool. If I whack the side of the reel, it will sometimes engage. Before it was happening only once a nite. Now it's about every single cast.... Anyone experience this before?

Thanks....
