I bought an ambassador 6500 this spring at sportco. hardly used it, but now when I get fish on, the tension makes the spool "squeek" and bind up. I could hardly reel humpies in the other week. I pulled the side off and pulled the spool out, but cannot see anyting wrong. I2 years ago bought a 5500 c3, and the button stuck down all the time for awhile, though now it seems okay.
I wonder if abu has gone downhill in the past few years.
