I have 3 PENN 155 Reels that I use for alungi fishing with one of them giving me problems. The issue with it is that the line just keeps reeling out of it even though I set the drag. Anybody knows what is going on? Or does anybody know any individual who fixes these reels in Malta?
Try to set the drag
I tried and still the line goes out without control.
Have a look at alantani.com he is a reel repair guru and runs his own forum/site as well.
He might even have a guide on stripping down that reel as well.
Ok thanks Skip.
@shaftbomb : maybe drag plate/s are worn out if reel has been used for quite a long time....
Bought it new two years ago and used 4 times only.....I can't understand what is wrong with it yet....
is it spooled with braid or mono?? and when you pull the line with the clicker on, does it click??

I bought my reels from Cabelas. Never dismantled them for the heck of it they are practically brand new used only 3-4 times! I tried playing with the drag, tightening it and loosing it and the line just goes out anyway. I will try to take to the dealer in malta...
