[QUOTE="ScreamingIdiot, post: 210620, member: 6328"] Unfortunetly, it is the reality of the retail business that a product can sit on the shelf for some time before someone uses it. I've seen good reels sit for shelves for days, weeks, months, and in the case of some back country bait shops, years before their ever sold. Even places like Bass Pro Shops and Academy for all their high volume traffic, are not immune to this rule. Grease gets grimmy, and gears that sit immobile get a bit stiff. There is no telling in some cases what the age is of the product you are buying unless it's an older model. Higher end reels which sit in the big glass display case instead of sitting in plastic boxes are in some shops removed from display and lubercated at regular intervals to keep them in excellent condition while boxed reels and inexpensive combos are left to sit. So that's the manufactures fault? Nope. It's how it is. So the shops fault? Nope, it's how it is. For this reason it is VERY wise to do some perliminary matinence on a reel before you use it, even if it is new. [/QUOTE]
