Christian - I'm throwing 6nbait. I was thumbing (spool bell) but I just need more practice.
longshot - I thought you were saying somethingelse. I did lube the bearing with the penn grease already. I've also noticed the bearing binding when I tighten the left bearing cap. I will look at the amount of play I have in the spool as you mentioned. I just finished tearing it down and I've re-lubed everything. I didn't breakdown the drag washers and main gear though. Is that neccesary after a night of surf fishing.
All in all, I think it's the thumbing of the spool bell during my casts. So I'm back to square one, practice, practice...
'least it didn't take me 3 hrs for cleaning this time.
