Hi to Jarrad and grumpy....yes grumpy, I agree with you this reel has had its chips...my scenario...It has collected something through it in its lifetime that had severely damaged it...and has been ground down to alleviate the anomaly....if you look at the right hand top of the rear blade, you will see that its been ground almost to the separator.
Unfortunately, that spells cactus!!
Thanks for posting though Jarrad.
