Its a Sedona model. Will try and see (as referenced above) whether line may still be caught up inside the reel. But, after reading so many unhappy stories about Shimano reels, I don't know. I do have a Pflueger President and love it but I do try to have a sampling of different brands just to have some variety. So far Shimano is flunking the test.
I did not know this! Thanks! But just another reason why I would never buy another Shimano. I've given 9 of them away to my grandkids. Told them to use them until they don't work anymore and then toss them in the trash. I can't abide equipment I cannot rely upon every minute I'm fishing. JMO.

I had a sales guy talk me into a Shimano Sienna over a Pflueger President! Second or third trip it started sticking! I cleaned it and oiled it but still has problems! I will not buy another one!
Thx Jawjatek -- that's what it was -- took it apart, cleaned it out and works fine -- many thx.

Glad you got it figured out and that it wasn't the dreaded Shibindo problem. Every single one of my Shimano's (14 of them from early 90's to early 00's various models) has eventually bound up due to the nylon bushing/friction ring swelling. Seems like once swollen, it doesn't shrink all the way back down. I did sand one slightly smaller to keep it working for awhile, but it eventually failed too. Haven't tried them since I learned what the problem has been.
