Hi guys,
unfortunately I have had nothing but problems with my okuma reels. I have an ID 400 that makes this awful grinding noise and seizes when I reel in and I just bought a nemesis 200W and have the problem like you with the casting button. Both had these problems right out of the box. I returned the ID 400 with good fast service only to see it did the exact same thing only worse. I tried calling again (more than once) and never got any answer. Any help would be great. I hate to have nice new reels sitting on the shelf for nothing...
