Hi
I have a couple of Shimano 5000c reels about 5 or 6 years old, average use I guess. I personally find the clutch to be anything but smooth and progressive when playing a fish and wondered if this a normal characteristic of this reel (albeit with age/use) and is it worth having them serviced ?
I use 12lb mono and 1.5tc rod.
If service is an option where would you suggest I send them and any idea of cost ?
Any experience or advice much appreciated.
Thanks.
