I think this is the fish gods way of telling you to keep it simple....and don't be so concerned with your guest's knuckles.

more about snappin rods and or havin a slab swimmin around with 6 feet of gear hangin off his lip there Scotty,
usually in August....

Sorry that one didn't work out Felix, spare parts maybe ?

The drag lever has to be in freespool before you tighten the drag knob otherwise you're wrecking the guts of the thing maybe you already have.

EDIT-All the info you need is found here http://alantani.com/index.php?board=9.0

Keep it Felix, or give it to someone who can use it.

Cheers

Felix - there is a knob on the side of the lever that helps fine tune the drag...try pulling the lever back to free spool and turning the knob forward in the opposite direction to make the drag stronger. Then move the lever forward to the various positions and test the strength. Make fine tune adjustments until you are happy. If that doesn't work then the reel needs servicing.

thx Rob

yeah , did some screwin around with it , kinda new there was an issue , took it in in , definitely some tlc needed ,
the reel doesnt lock either , winds in reverse as well !!!
gonna dop it off next week when we roll through nanoose , no biggy , will keep it as a spare , thx Scott

I have had the same "freespool" behavior on a brand new TLD20 2 speed.
