New to fishing, what's wrong with my handle? Do I just have to screw the screw tighter? Is it faulty? Help please (4000 reel not 400) Posted by westsea1111
Far_Entertainer2365 on May 12, 2026 12:43 am It’s not tight enough. Same thing happens with all makes. I just prefer if it does it with a shimano.
