Lews anti reverse issue

[catdude28]

First of all, you need to take the reel apart and get all the grease out of the ARB. Once that is accomplished, you can leave it at that as there will be some grease in the bearing, or put a very, very light coating of oil. Your problems should be solved in winter as well. I have run my ARB in all my reels dry all year long no problems so far and I've cleaned them this way for 3 years so far.

This is often the issue if the anti reverse slips on a casting reel, irrespective of brand. Cleaning the anti reverse one way bearing is part of my annual maintenance on all of my casting reels. I run them dry.

I clean my reels every year, never put oil on the ARB and the only reels I’ve ever had a problem with was Lews..
