I took time to clean out the mud and put new Lithium Grease in the reel. Boy I must say Shamano knows how to Build a Good reel. It will be my new Favorite. In the Bass pro catalog there has been changes in the reel, the Catalog now has 3 Bearings for that Model. this reel I found has 6 bearings. As cheep as I am the only way for me to have one would be a Door Prize at the D'Arbonne Gathering. My find was someones $125 loss. The flood damages make me sad that some people were wiped out
