Curado 71 problem?

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.

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 😎

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,
