abu 7000i handle turns the wrong direction with fish on

[jimmy z]

Vic, is that the red 7000i? From what i know about those i reels, and as with the i pro rocket I have, they have a dual anti reverse. So, is it possible for both the bearing and the dog to fail? Maybe

The dog and pony AR on my Saltist was so encrusted in salt dregs that it wouldn't move until I soaked it in alcohol for an hour.(I did no maintenance except for oil in the spool bearings for two years to see how it would do). I knew something was wrong when the handle started spinning the wrong way.


"if the dog and pony reverse wasn't almost completely clean, it would kinda sorta catch, but didn't at the worst possible times! " Gotcha, I'll keep those parts clean as a whistle(if I ever use it enough to need to service it)
