[QUOTE="Rebelwork, post: 483364, member: 28859"] After spending a half an hour talking to a guy at Basspro who has never seen this issue I had to figure out how this happened. The three reels purple and blue sat in a canvas type fishing bag without exposure to anything. It dawned on me after the conversation. When you purchase a reel from Basspro they load your reel up with line of your chose and use a rubberband to hook the line to your reel to your ready to put it on a rod. Over the years of sitting the rubber band had weakened and broke. I assume it has a petroleum product in it that got on the reals or fumed off... [/QUOTE]
