Tungsten Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 All this talk about reels thought i would ask a question. I've bin fondling the LX series lately and noticed the "click" sound is louder on the way in then compared to going out.Both shops i have bin to say the clicker can be turned off but only on the out going end.This is very strange to me,I thought they had them set up backwards but i was assured they weren't. Why are they like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricinus Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I don't have LX's but do have IR's. I just went and checked and mine are louder going out than on the retrieve. I don't know why the LX's would be opposite. Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Check out the manual: http://www.islander.com/PDF/LXmanual.pdf It looks like there's a clicker for outgoing that can be removed, but the pawl assembly causing the retrieve click is part of the spindle assembly. Never used an LX so I'm only guessing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just a BC salmon thing.They like the sound of reeling in i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you fish Spider lake on vancouver Island, a bald eagle call Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
