Sounds like the pinion gear has broken. That was a problem with the early ones off the line.
I suggest you take the reel to Mike at M&D. Have him work it over with new gears and smoothee drag washers. Once souped up it is a damn fine reel. I have one that i use for pluggin and love it. Only problem is capacity. Not a big one because you bought it for the narrow spool.
If for some reason you cannot get to M&D PM me and I will filll you in on servicing the reel.
