[jace1acc]

Hi All

 

Had a great time fishing yesterday . but have noticed a slight problem with my reels... when the carp take the hook and went for it taking the line ... my reel didnt make that clicking noise as it went out .... have i broken it?.... to make matters worse i changed reels and the same thing happened.... i have played with the drag setting (rear settings) and everything but have i set up wrong.

 

many thanks Jace

check inside the spool cup , turn upside down and look inside for a little spring and clicker !

 

is the spring there ?

is the clicker there ?

 

is the spring deformed ?

is the clicker deformed ?

If it i too loose it wont make te sound, tighten it up a bit.

I don't think I have every had a reel that routinely 'clicked' as a fish took line against the drag. My larger multipliers have a setting that allows for a clicking noise when the reel is otherwise in freespool but that can be set off for casting and on for waiting on a run.

Are you talking about baitrunner type reels ( free spool reels that allow fish to take line while the rods are on a pod etc ) or normal fixed spool reels?
