i just bought a quantum baitcast reel and found the line guide to be a little loose?

Line guide being that eye that moves back and forth upon retrieval....Is this normal?
not on the pole on the reel

    No it’s not normal. If I were you I’d personally take it back where you bought it either at store or online. A loose eye will turn to a broken eye with a big fish on. Good luck fishin’ and with your broken pole!

    Ac little play in it is normal but not too much. does it still go back and forth when you reel?

    There should be a’ slight bit of play in it. As long as it traverses from side ta’ side and doesn’t bind then ya’ should be alright. If the play is so obvious, think I’d return it to the place of purchase. If ordered Online then that’s a different thing meanin’ that you’ll have ta’ ship it back and then wait on the new one :( . Have provided a’ link to Quantum that you might give some thought to ie., ask the source by either email and or phone call. Don’t know that I helped much but again, might want to contact the “source”;)…

    you’re kidding about this question, right? it’s going back and forth? like its supposed to? just get a pair of pliers and clamp it good and tight so it will no longer go back and forth.
    oh!… l gotta mention. once you do this, the handle will no longer turn either.
    but then, if you just tie the string on the end of the pole, you won’t even need that defective piece of whateveritis.
