I have run into a problem with 2 of my reels one is a zebco, the other not sure, but on both, the gears have stripped. I have fished for more yrs than I'm willing to tell, & have never had the problem before. I fish in farm ponds/lakes, & there are a lot of weeds which I occasionally get tangled in. I am pretty careful about not pulling hard when stuck. Any ideas on what's happening? I don't want to have to replace any more reels if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't not fish. That would be intolerable.
