Stradic fa 4000 issues.

Post by bowl » Wed Apr 26, 2017 4:09 pm

So after catching the salmon today,I noticed reel jam.
I would cast ,flip go to wind n would jam for a second then start windinng normally.

First thought it was braid wrapped around eye of rod.
So cast few more times n it would jam a bit every time n def was not braid looping around eye of rod....
Reel is less then year old.

For that budget and size you would expect a salmon to be the least of it's worries. Shimano will surely try and fix the problem.
