Lew's spinning reel

[FIN]

I'm hearing that some reels are "falling apart"? What's that all about? What is falling apart? I've owned a ton of various kinds of reels over many decades. From real "cheapos" to some truly quality reels. Never had any one of them just fall apart. I'm really curious now what this kind of failure looks like.

Its been years since I had a lews spinning reel. Mine fell apart with almost no use at all. As I recollect the screw came out the bail the bail fell off. The third time I used it. Never knew what happened to the screw. It wasn't worth filing a complaint to the company. I just trashed it.
