Hey Gvec,
I had the same problem with one of the reels I had and went back to Sportman's to see what was wrong with it. The fellow in the fishing department told me it was not suppose to flip closed by reeling, but it was to close with the hand. He said I should be flipping the bail closed with my hand on all my reels as it is hard on them to flip closed be reeling. I have been flipping by reeling since I can remember and had never been told that before. Had a fishing friend at work tell me that he always flips his bail with his hand, so I gave him the reel and I continue to reel mine closed. Old dog...new tricks - not!
