Amundson Trend tmx4 bound up on me?

[DVL U Know]

Last time out fishing my amundson reel bound up on it self. The drag basically got stuck down tight and wouldn't release, with a hundred feet of line out. Had to attack my drag knob with my pliers to wind it back.

Any thoughts?

I have recently swapped out the drag springs with islander ones, and have had them open to service/ clean them when they need it with no problems but a broken clicker spring. All still looks the same after this last incident...but has got me worried.

And don't tell me I should have bought islanders...I shook the money tree and there ain't nothing there.

i had one of my three do this to me where it sort of locked up
i think its the return pawl/clicker getting stuck
stripped em down and cleaned them and made sure every spring clicker pawl was sitting true and seated right
as i had a fish take line on me and it did not sound right make sure you not backing them off to much as i think there may be a bit of play in there and thus the clicker comes off it seat and can get locked up

hope this explains helps
but all in all the reels i would still recommend especially if on a non islander budget

Another problem I had was when I dis-assembled my rod the other day, mono slacked off on the spool and went in between the cradle and spool through the gap and made a tangled mess... Had to dis-assemble, not a big deal, but caused some swearing I didn't need to take it apart so soon!

Sounds like what happened to me. I have been in my reels a lot, lubing and cleaning and tweaking...I think next time I am in parksville I will go by PNT and get them to look them over.
