Sounds like your anti-reverse bearing is starting to go.

They fail more often than Zebco would care to admit. And using them for jigging seems to make them fail faster.

That's actually what I was thinking having first hand experience with that situation with a 150. I sent it back and they fixed it for free but I would say I still share PIEMMA's opinion.

I'm starting to feel the same way.

Usually the real problem is how the problem gets handled. I'll hold judgment until I get there I guess as I'm generally happy with the reel. I do beat the snot out of it.
