Anyone else have this problem? The bearing in between the chicken loop and the front line unspinning system is lubricated so well from the factory that when I go to unhook the chicken loop spins around all awkward which makes it a little bit of a hassle to hook back in. I never thought having a bearing working TOO well would be an issue
. Is there any way to make it spin a little less freely than by shoving sand and grit down in there?

steal a hair bungee thingy from your girlfriend and put it (wrap it) over the "seam" where the parts meet. it'll still spin but have a bit more resistance.
