I blew up my reel on long casts the other day and found that the brake door of my reel was coming loose on long casts. I don’t know why but the the brake door opens VERY easily. After several blowups I changed my palming of the reel to keep the door closed but I’d like to find out why it is now so loose.
Has anyone else had this problem or a suggestion?
Thanks

Can be of no assistance with your reel, just wanted to comment on that pig of a LM.
Reel couldn't be too big a problem with a beauty of a bass like that. Nice fish. Sorry no help with the reel.

Great hog there, but no help with with your reel sorry 🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐠🐠🐋🐋🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
I'm gonna say that pig of a bass had something to do with it
Sorry about your reel, but catching that fattie has to make you feel better, nice fish!
I’m embarrassed to say that I went out fishing with a buddy on Friday nite & I had him look at the reel - and he showed me that there is a lock switch on the underside of the reel that I didn’t have on - my bad 🤪
Then I caught this one 😎

Well that sure pay off getting your reel figured out for sure glad to see you still got the luck 🍀, Thank for the pictures 🎣🎣🎣🐠🐠🐟🐟🐋🐋🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Yes, that worked out well 👍
But I went to retie some leaders and move lures between rods - and then a part came off my Curado K ☹️
I’m considering a move to Abu Revo SX. I’ve had good luck with my Revo Inshore on my swimbait rods.
Do people recommend the Revo SX?
Should I consider the Rocket SX to get the 9:1 speed? And why?
Thx for the inputs,
