Thanks for the heads up! I was thinking about buying a small Saltiga LD, but not now. I am actually more than happy with the Accurate reels that I have. They have not failed me yet! Thanks again!

the old Saltiga had these problems, the newer ones 2022 and newer are about the best in industry with a 5 year warranty. Adjusting drag while in drive mode will always damage any lever drag 2 speed. This is possibly what caused this issue.

Thanks Alan, I used Daiwa's many years ago and stopped using them because of the cost of replacement parts.

Wow that's a bummer diawa use to be a well made reel just like penn reels. Thank you for the info. For now I'll hang on to my old USA made penn. No problems there.

Hey Alan it's Adrian here.. Haha that was funny when you said "If you've got one,.... I don't know get rid of it or something" . Really sucks to have to spend that much for a problem like that. Did the customer go thru with it or backed out?

I also had problems with my Diawa reel. They are nice for a little while, but after a couple of years they just fail and frustrate! My Shimano reels are great and dependable, they won’t disappoint.

Shimano have their own problems. They are not dependable either. I can't believe they put in a $2 crappy cast aluminum clutch cam retainer inside the Tranx 400A reel (part number BNT5506). That part easily corrodes and leave enough residue to make the clutch lever freeze. Its all about driving down the cost and reusing low cost parts that should not even be on $300 salt water reel. If you have a Tranx 400, open it up and see if that part is corroded.
