Hi guys!

I just bought an Avet LX 6.0 and the clicker is almost silent.

I was looking to the forums and I found this discussion http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=6097 tried to  clean the grease with WD40, cleaned it but no success, the clicker is still the same (hard to engage/disengage, and almost silent).

When opening the reels the clicker seems in perfect condition as well as the plastic gear and also the springs are tight.

Then I looked at this tread https://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/threads/sxj-clicker-problem.626434/ where there is a post that quotes: "Open up the reel as described by others and remove the nylon washer thats installed. Makes engaging and disengaging easier and also increases the sound."

I found also another video on youtube which describes how to cut the springs to make the sound louder.

What do you suggest I do guys?

Thanks,

L.

here should be a black plastic collar that holds the clicker button.  often replacing that collar does the trick.  you can order one from avet. 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Thank you Alan!

So I should not remove it but replace it!

When can I order one?

When I fished on the west coast, my clickers were rarely used.  Off Florida every trip.  My LX clickers are super silent.  I first tried replacing all the springs, but that did not help much.  It's the black liner as noted above that needs to be replaced.  I noticed that there are double options as to parts for the lx clicker assemblies.  Which parts should I order for the loudest clicker?

Should I order the 02-A or the 02-B ?

Does the G-2 version of the reel have an improved clicker?

Thanks for replying.
