Scootter -

I don't know if the problem you're having is exactly the same as the one I
had, but I'll tell you what I did just in case.

Get a couple of box wrenches and loosen the nylock on the axle about 1/4
to 1/2 turn.  The new reels come with these nuts too tight and after about
10 minutes of use they bind up.  Once you back off the nut, it stops
happening.  I spent 15 minutes cranking line back in by turning the whole
hub the first time this happened to me.  My hand hurt for a week ;).

Scott.
