Inshore Fishing in South Central Louisiana
Defective Shimano????
2 reels broke within 1 week just setting the hook on specks (not big one's either). These are Shimano 2500FG spinning reels 13 monthe old, one month out of warranty. These are medium priced reels with what I believe is a factory aluminum cast problem. They broke in the exact same place!! Anyone experience this problem with Shimano spinning reels??? It will be interesting to see if Shimano covers this obvious defect. Thanks for your input.

Return them to academy. If they sell them there they will let you exchange them. Just tell them you just got them a couple months ago and they broke.
