I have an abu garcia oro spin reel that I use for softbaiting off the kayak. Yesterday after winding in a small snapper it is suddenly very stiff to turn the handle. It seems to me to not be corrosion related as it went from 100% to 20% in an instant.

Could it be a bearing dropping out? or a bent main shaft or something?
