If I had to guess when he pulled the line to break it he cracked the axel of the spool and the spool was then free floating and fell.i got a black max combo. im still new to bait casting. 80bucks
great reel for a begginer. the one problem i have is that the spool fell into the water after i snapped my line in a tree. couldnt get it back. but the was 1 of 2 i own.
i use it for flippin with 20lbs braid
I can't even imagine how that happened
