You can disagree with me, if I was always right, I'd hate myself.
I did the brakleen deal on my Saltist and it worked again. The IAR bearing isn't really open unless you take it apart, which I didn't do. Haven't taken apart my 7000iHSN yet(don't use it much). Didn't even know that it had a dog and pony anti reverse. On my 7000C3, I always put a dab of grease on the ratchet gear to assure that the dog would swing in and engage if the reel tried to go backward. Funny, the
C3 anti reverse never failed.
....and with my procedure, at least he gets to have a beer with Scott.
