Hi,
I purchased a Daiwa Regal LT 3000 last month. I spooled it up and took it out on the river. After about 20 casts, I took it home. I returned a few days later to notice a grinding sound coming from the reel. I've never caught a fish on this. It's brand new, so it shouldn't need any servicing. I have no clue what could be causing this, and Daiwa wants me to pay to ship it to them across the country for inspection. Academy won't take returns on used items.
Any help on figuring out this issue would be wonderful. Hope it's an easy fix. Thank you.
