[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 465804, member: 15636"] Well, Penn did make a reel where the lever didn’t put it into ‘free spool’, but disengaged the anti-reverse, like that on a spinning reel, where you could ‘crank’ out the line. Try flipping that lever, does cranking the handle backwards then allow the spool to turn to let line out? Also, most Penn models (maybe not that one) have an adjustment knob centered on the other side of the reel to put more or less free spool tension onto the spool, to eliminate backlashes. Or, it could all be gunked up inside ... or someone out it back together wrong ... Specs & info for that reel = https://www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/ReelSpecs/Penn285M.aspx Owner’s Manual = https://www.scottsbt.com/catalog/store/images/pennparts/manuals/89bmanual.pdf [/QUOTE]
