I like the Teton (not the tioga) and have had mine for quite a while but the spool is stuck on the reel for the second time now. The first time they switched the bushing from bronze to stainless and said it was to keep it from doing it again but guess what didn't work. Oh well still works just can't swap spools. If only they weren't all the way over on the west coast...

I use a Lampson LP3 and have had problems with the clutch. I'm going to treat myself and get a Tibor. FishHawk

That's a nice treat. 
I regularly use Tibor, Penn 4, TFO, Old Florida, STH Caribbean, Okuma, and a few others.
I'm anxious to get a look at the new Hayden designed, type 1 anodized TFOs that just came out. |
Best regards,
Roger

Soak it overnight in salt-x, it will un-stick. I had the same problem. You must take the spool off and rinse after every use and you will no longer have that problem. |

Another option to release a stuck spool- remove the cover plate where the release lever is located and spray some saltex or even warm water into the cavity then gently tap the end on the spindle with the butt of a screwdriver while holding the release lever in the release position and the reel off the work surface slightly. This works as my Redington has frozen up a couple of times when I got lazy. A little sewing machine oil or other light oil will keep it from happening as often. Ron |

I can only imagine what you guys are doing to freeze up a Tioga.  Redingtons were infamous for it, but that's the first time I've heard of it happening to a Tioga. I know Teton suggests a light oil but I like a lightweight grease as it doesn't wash away and generally lasts longer. That may help. I've also seen the light oil leach into the reel and contaminate the drag washers too. I've also noticed they are shipping reels without any oil or grease on the center shaft lately which makes for a squeaky reel. Makes no sense to me...
I also wonder if they changed the metals a bit on Tiogas, mine are all fairly old (maybe a decade even) and I've never had an issue at all.
I've got a few Tiogas, a Bauer, and then everything else is Tibor. FishHawk you'll love the Tibor; picture a Van Staal only even more bulletproof... |

Just had a chance to re-visit this thread and would like to thank everyone for the tips on freeing up the spool. I will try the salt X trick. I was pretty faithful about rinsing but admit I may have forgotten once or twice. It's usually those quick fishing fixes that I squeeze in when I should be doing something else that results in the reel getting neglected. I think just a light grease on the shaft makes sense.
I assume the line should be stripped off before soaking in Salt X? Not sure what's in that stuff but can't be good for the line.
I have always like those Tibors but never could bring myself to pay the price.
How about those Old Floridas owners any input on them?
