In this video, we go through how I use my interaction with the reel owner to help try and determine what potential things are wrong with a reel. Sometimes, a little bit of gentle prodding is needed, but you'll still need to keep an eye out for other possibilities as you go through the reel. Today's sample reel is a Shimano TLD 15. See below for helpful equipment and supply links. If you found this video useful, please show some love by hitting the thumbs up button and consider....
