Sounds like the pinion gear has broken. That was a problem with the early ones off the line.
I suggest you take the reel to Mike at M&D. Have him work it over with new gears and smoothee drag washers. Once souped up it is a damn fine reel. I have one that i use for pluggin and love it. Only problem is capacity. Not a big one because you bought it for the narrow spool.
If for some reason you cannot get to M&D PM me and I will filll you in on servicing the reel.

This is the new 7000 I HSN not the gold HSN piece of $hit.

I tightened all of the screws on the reel with the same results.

I bought it from M&Ds a few weeks ago so I will bring it in but I figured there was something stupid I was doing.

Anyone know M&Ds hours as I believe they are closed for the season.
