Older Daiwa Magforce MA10G baitcaster handle spins while casting

Post by wahoowad » Tue Jan 01, 2019 2:30 pm

I took my Daiwa Magforce MA10G baitcaster fishing after letting it sit a few years. It otherwise works great but the handle spins with the spool when I cast. I believe this extra mass then slows down the spool and it isn’t casting very far.

The handle does not spin while letting a bait slowly drop from the tip, just when casting. The drag and spool control all seem working fine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I don't use baitcasters much at all. Is it common for the handle to spin like this?

Really? Nobody is familiar with this reel?
