When parts are flying off and hit you in the face during a fight, that is what I call a blow up.
While fishing one of my old diawa's once and reeling in a fish the entire bail flew off one side and was flopping around loose. I could not reel and had to hand-line in the fish in waist high waters at night. It was a nightmare. Never bought another diawa again.
This was more of an "implosion" : I brought in a one-season-old Penn liveliner to the shop asking for their repair guy to fix the baitrunner drag, it didn't engage and the reel was getting a little stiff. When I went to pick it up, they said that I won the award for the worst condition spinning reel he had ever seen in 20 years and it could not be repaired. Everyting inside was worn out and shot and salt caked solid. It didn't make it thru one complete surf season, and I took are of it! He didn't believe me but I did, rinsed it off each trip. That was my turning point when I said...never again...and asked for the highest quality spinning reel made.
