Send the ABU back to the folks at Spirit Lake, they will fix or replace the reel for you. This is the parent company for ABU, Berkley, Fenwick and a few others.

Go to pure fishing

If you just bought the ABU, send it in with a letter. If you have had it for a while, send $10-15. You'll have a new reel within a week of them receiving it. They have great service.
