We have never seen that issue before - could you pm me with the details. We will want to get those back and take them apart to find out what the issue is. Clearly not acceptable, but the first problem we have encountered with over 600 on the market. Need to know where you are returning them so we can get them quickly and figure out what happened. Did you apply any oil before use? There is an instruction sheet that needs to be followed. I service my reels (North Coast and Islander) weekly.

Get your self a good old M1 reel and save your money, these reels are good / cheap and can bounce around the boat all day and nobody will steal them.

Yup.....but you also have to spend your day with your fingers glued to the drag. "New" washers or not.....I would rather use a 2x4 with mono rapped around it than an M1.[

They more than that i am in retail.
I bought one of these reels from A/N before going to Ukie last week it made three trips to the bottom on the rigger before the clicker stopped working, I took it apart on land and found that the clicker spring had popped off. I reinstalled it and took it out the next day and the same thing happened. The next day I tightened up the spring loops and it worked for two days before the spring broke. I fortunatly had my shimano for a back up and was able to fish for the week. I'm going to see if i can get a better spring, if not its going back. As a post note my friend brought his new trophy tyee reel and had no problems with it even after he had a rod holder brake and it made a trip to the bottom.

Thanks for those posts, I just happened to find one at Wholesale Sports so I scooped it. Inside it looks similar to the MR2's and overall it appears to be a decently skookum reel. But I have yet to use it. Hopefully it all pans out. I'll post more after I've fished with it for awhile.
