Vibration in reel

[porgy75]

My Abu reel vibrates from side to side when I cast. Is it possible that the bearings are shot?

Maybe, do you have experience taking apart reels? Do you wash down with fresh water each time you come home? Do you clean and grease it seasonally? If not I would recommend taking it to a tackle shop for service before the blitzes start. There are some good ones in NJ. PM me if you want one in your area. Good luck.

I brought it in this morning for service, and I mentioned that to the guy as I left. Thanks for the input fellas!
