It worked flawlessly for the first 5 years. Until I blew the clutch on it and sent it in for the first servicing. I always use a swivel to leader connection. Never felt the need to use a fancy knot. One thing about the last time it was serviced. Under he spool there are 3 small screws to take of the rotor I believe. I couldn’t get one out before sendin it in. When I got it back it was still stuck like it didn’t get removed. I figured they would get it out and put a new screw in, not sure if they could do a complete service without taking those 3 screws out. I will try another line roller on it. I’d really like to not up the poundage of my line,

it's pretty easy to see if the line roller is the problem( it would be my first guess) take a section of line and wrap it around the roller , then take the two ends and pull them back and forth, the roller should be silky smooth, no hang ups and free spinning, I like to service mine with a little liquid graphite that is used in lubricating locks..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
