Scierra IC3 Reel

Hello Everyone,

I hope you can help with some advice...

I have recently bought a Scierra IC3 Reel, what attracted me to the reel was the Cassette system which seems like a great light way to carry around up to 4 lines and be able to change lines quickly...... that is where i have problems.

The instructions tell you that a light push will free the cassette from the spool.... with my reel this is not the case ... often i have to wrestle with the thing for 20 mins before i can free the cassette...... as you can imagine this is NO fun at the water....

Does anyone else have this problem with Cassette type reels ? any good tips? ( I have tried a bit of oil....it works for an hour or so, then the thing gets jammed again...

Thanks !

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
