Just a guess but the gears prob worn, if thats the case...time for a new one.
If it happens more when under load then i would say it was this issue, lots of good cheap reels out there now for boats so not the end of the world.................__................................ .............................

The older Mitchell boat reels were or still are great reels, I had a 624 for years.
But like all good things their time does come, time for a burial at sea

If it's the Mitchell 624, loosen all the outside screws and just lightly twist the reel a little, then re-tighten all the screws. Quite often thats all it takes.P.B. Cod 30lb-11ozs Balcary.Comment
