 | Started acting up after a day in the rain -- every few turns the handle would spin backwards.  Anti reverse just wasn't working right. 
 So I took it apart, looked it over, drop of oil here and there, tried it again.  Worked great for exactly one day.  So I retired it.   Last thing I needed was to set the hook on a fish and have no anti reverse.
 
 stupid $#&$^*@ reel.  Figures it would be the most expensive one I had, and the newest one, only 13 days out of warranty...
   
 then I read the posts here from others with the same reel and the same problem...  Someone suggested that the anti reverse might just have too much grease.
 
 So last night I took it apart again, cleaned all the grease out of the AR mechanism and used oil instead.
 
 IT WORKS!!
 
 It works like it did when it was new!  Now I don't know what will happen the first time I fish in a downpour, or how long it will work, but the handle does NOT turn backwards anymore.
