Mine is a brand new open head. I had it reeled in and all, but minute I cast and then put the bar back it just unravels even with the bar in place which is suppose to lock it so I can reel it in, but in unravels right before the bar.
I tried it again for a 2nd time, same thing. Giving up for tonight, too pist off, just so frustrating. That box of line was like 30 bucks too, and it's all just going in the garbage because the way in unravels there is no way I would get it back to normal.
