Send me a message if you want to sell it, but I would give it another try - they are pretty sweet reels. What size and type of line are you using. I have found that anything over 8#'s of flouro on a spinning reel just doesn't work for me. 8# works good. Have you tried Seaguar invis-x - it does pretty good on spinning gear. Be careful not to overspool - that can cause the line to jump off a little.
