I bought a used one off ebay and its geary not butter smooth like a daiwa steez. Is this normal for Shimano Antares DC reels?

I have both the Antares DC HG and Antares DC MD, both are relatively new but neither feel geary. I also have the current version Exsence DC, used a little more yet it doesn’t feel geary either. Geary is not what I would expect from any of the high end DC reels.

Any reel with xg gears isn’t going to be as smooth as a slower ratio. I’d expect an antares to be smooth no matter what but nevertheless xg gearing just isn’t as smooth.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I'm going to send it off have it cleaned and checked out. I will post back here with the results.

Yep, sent it in. Antares are spposed to be the definition of smooth. At least that is my understanding as a non Antares owner.
