re: Freak break in a spinning reel

Reel good chance you stood on it or dropped it at just the right/ wrong angle while handling it.

Doubt that seriously. My rods are stored upright in a corner of the man cave and when I take them to go fish the river, I place them in the bed of my pickup, not drop them.

Once on the river, I bait up and toss them out and set them up to keep an eye on them.

Then reverse order when heading home and cleaning up.

Damn reel looked brand new.
