Just bought my first fishing reel, a Daiwa 18 Ninja LT 1000, and I'm having an issue: if I open the bail, I can't turn the handle for more than barely one revolution before it comes to a dead stop. Normally this would be where the bail automatically flips down. If I manually flip the bail down it becomes possible to turn the handle as usual again.
Is this a defect or is there some setting that I haven't figured out? I know you're not supposed to close the bail by turning the lever but still.
