    Thumb bar sticking

    What needs to be replaced in a reel that the thumb bar is sticking periodically. Meaning when I depress, cast, turn handle to start reeling and the thumb bar won’t engage and stays depressed. I can normally spin the the handle and get it to eventually catch. What parts do I need to fix this?
