6500 problem

Play with the right side adjusting knob. Get it to where that clicking is minimal.

Take one of your Abus that doesn't have this problem. let out a few feet of line, then engage the reel. While holding the handle so it can't rotate, thumb the spool to wind in the line. I have 3 Abus, they all allow this. I don't know why they do it, but they all do.

Or take one of those other Abu's and spin the spool reel fast with the handle. Once you have the spool revolving, stop the handle dead! You're spool will run on with that clicking. They all do it!
