i have several garcia products . many of them are the older 7000s and 6500s that are bullet proof these are junk. so ive cleaned and serviced many garcia reels. i bought 5 of these a few months ago spooled them with line with the intent of long lining crappie or pullen crankbaits. they set on the shelf till 9/28/19. i went one time pulling crankbaits. 2 out of 5 reels failed cheap plastic gears fell apart . the first reel that failed failed on the second retrieve will 100 feet of line out with a 12 inch crappie attached to it. the second failure was actually on the third retrieve with just a bandit 300 attached to it. heres the evidence. i guess ill be trying to find replacement parts
