Reel Problem.

#1 Post by jack01986 »

Was cleaning my reel and found that the mag adjuster wouldnt move thought it was sand and other stuff so just took it apart to clean it out and found a slight dent in the reel end plate so I cant adjust the brakes they are stuck at 6. Still works fine apart from that. No mark on the reel at all and I didnt drop it. Weird. :evil: . I presume that you can get replacement parts somewhere.

the mark is the dent jack :shock:
looks like it had a heavy fall or something landed on it.

i got (2) 6500 rockets in the post with the same damage sent them straight back for replacement postal insurance covered them.

im sure you can get replacements handy enough.
good luck.

hello there, could you not just remove the endpate and push the dent out
failing that you will most certainly need another end-plate comes with the
the adjuster fixed to it, there lies the problem,

all the best m
