Problem with Abu 7000ce
I love my reel but its giving me some attitude lately. Sometimes after i cast the reel wont go into gear, the button stays down. i greased it and it helped for a bit. also it seems to get better after a little while, but its a pain to pull it out with a fingernail for the first half hour. any ideas on how to fix it?

I dunno but I have the same problem with both of my 6500's. These reels are fussy. I havent been able to fix it yet it is part of my routine now.

i have greased it a few times and it seems to help for a bit. it was the penn reel grease, pretty thick stuff. i had to replace the pawl as well, my erroe not the reels, looks like a stop at M&D is in order.

On the pinion gear there is a little plastic coller, sometimes this part wears out, causeing the pinion gear to hang up.

In a pinch...
I keep some WD-40 on hand. Easy to carry and use, especially at night when you do not want the fishing to end. (Why is it your equipment always works like a champ when you are pulling in mung by the pound???) Not the best thing to use for a final fix, but easy to use when you start binding up... I mean the reel binding up, although I guess it might work in either case.
When you get home, clean it out and grease it up.

See you out there,
