I bought two of these at the same time. I had never used a baitcaster before. The first trip out one reel was perfect and the other one "broke inside". Sent it off to repair and had it back in 5 days. Said a gear was not welded that should have been! The factory service center also changed to a power handle as I requested at no charge.
I have now cought dozens of reds with these reel and they are all I use. Works just as advertised.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i purchased one of these reels two days ago, the following day out on the water the reel fell apart within the first 3 hours. Pieces are rattling around inside and the level wind will not engage. Dissapointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a problem very smiliar in the first outing the pinion gear spawl which is made of plastic gives way very easily after it happened had to pull in the line with my hands as the spool will not rotate when I turn the handle. Replaced it twice and when it happened the third time got fed-up and went ahead and bought the C3 6500....

Started with five 521 baitcasters back in the early 80's. 30 years later traded up to 4 Revo's, a Skeet Reese Model but still like C4 models so bought 2 of them Sep 2010. Yesterday, upon retrieving a crankbait that I casted into the next county, a C4 model failed to engage & the thumb button remained down. I haven't dismantled it to see what the problem is but this was a first for me. Normally all my AG reels have been bullet proof.
I would recommend this to a friend!

thumb button return spring
Posted March 3, 2012
Sounds like the thumb button return spring either slipped off the hook hole inside or it may have broken. It's an easy fix.
