Anyone out there every experience problems with your Cronarch? I bought mine just before Christmas last year and my bearings were totally shot! I sent it up to John's sporting goods in Everett and just got it back with a price tag of $60.00 for repairs, what's up with that!!! I lubed it every month and it's always clean. I think that the reel should have gone at least another season before all that work need to be done. I've had one of my Ambassidor's (spelling) for about 15 years now and just last year only had to go through it and still only costed $25.00, anyone else besides me have a problem like this?
