I have three corsairs that I use for my spares and for my kids to use and abuse. My brother also has a few and we have had this problem also. It seems that they put too much grease or silicone on the anti-reverse dog and mechanism. Take it apart if you are the mechanical type and wipe some of it off and try using a lighter type of lube.
One of the things that I dislike about the corsairs is the hard plastic paddles on the handles. I have a Shimano Chronarch with the same type of paddles, but they are made of a softer type of rubber. My probem is that when I use eggs that have been cured with the sulfite based cures, they cause my hands to really dry out...to the point of cracking. My fingers slip off the handles easily when I am wound up from hitting a fish. Just a minor problem though.
Need a day off and some fishing friendly weather soon! See ya fishing.
