I've been trying to start fishing cause I want to start going outside, got my license and had a spot in mind, tested my set up and it was fine, I went to go fish, found a knot in the mechanism and have spent the better of 4 hours trying to get this fucking reel to work. I don't have money to buy any parts or grease for maintenance so I'm stuck with what I got right now. The pins seem to not be engaging but when I put it all together it just doesn't pull or release line. I'm so close to just quitting and never touching fishing again

Buy a spinning setup. Open face. Much easier to manage.
Doing maintenance on a spincaster is a pain in the ass. Worth it to learn. Agreed on a straight spinner reel though.
Yeah obviously but I’m broke so I can’t get one and I won’t have money to spend for a while (other shit). I just need someone who can troubleshoot this so I don’t shoot myself in the head trying to figure this out. I’ma. Computer nerd so I’m used to figuring out shit quickly and I have never been more stumped than right now
