saltiga 30t

[beandip]

I have a question regarding the clicker.

I have a few of the 30T's and i'm having an issue with the clicker slipping.

If i put it into the "non-clicker" mode, it will slip down into the "clicker" mode.

Is there an easy fix for this?

Super glue.

Super glue.

thanks for my chuckle for the day!

the spring is probably loose.  you will have to pull it out, squeeze it together, then put it back it and see how well it holds.  they are finnicky to say the least.

Hi Alan,

I have a problem for my Saltiga 30T, not serious but just feel like to know if this happened also to some others.

It happened since the first day I bought this reel,  after I tight the drag and try to release it, the drag will become loose only when I do one or half cranking.  It will also happen if I tight the drag from loose (The drag will act tighter only after one of half cranking).   After first cranking the drag is not bad still smooth. Actually this problem is getting better after I have used this reel for three seasons.

I also have two Saltist 30t, I do not have this kind problem.  I can get the drag set up as I like immediately and do not have to wait it effect after cranking.

Do you see this kind problem before?

Thanks,

Jason

I was serious about using super glue to silence the darn thing    I don't have a need for a clicker and bought a Saltiga 30 purely because it does'nt  have one. I find them annoying to say the least.

it usually happend when the metal drag washers are out of order the the slotted washer is on top.  otherwise, no.....

Alan,

Thanks.  So if I want to fix this problem I need to replace a new metal washer ?

Or it can be improved if I send it for a service?

i would be curious to take a look, but follow the tutorial and the schematics first.  let's see if there is a problem that can be fixed.

I am trying to recover a sad Saltiga 30T.  The freespool lever would not move.

I removed the handle side case and it appears the pinion gear is seized to the spool shaft.  There is a lot of corrosion.  Any ideas on how to pry that pinion off the spool shaft?


I also broke a bit driver trying to get into the case screws, so a suggestion there would help - still can't get the clicker side removed.   Where can i get a good sturdy driver bit that is narrow to fit in these screws recessed to the body?

First thing to do is to soak the parts in your favorite rust remover ie Corrosion-X/Liquid Wrench/WD-40 etc. At least overnight if you have the time.

Some light taps can break up the corrosion crusts and then after that, you have to try some of the liquid nitrogen sprays to get the screw/spindle to shrink and they should come off.
