Yep, Preset was frozen solid. Forced it with channelocks now it spins free..
what broke? Thanks guy's

Do you have a pic of which know you are referring to? I assume you are talking about the drag lever, but I know where that gets us.

[rodcandy]

Refering to the "Preset" drag
It spins free
Something broke inside
Trying to figure out what that part is
Thnx

Its likely that the preset knob itself broke.

[josa1]

There's a small, screw driver type, piece on the inside of the preset knob that fits into a slot on the adjustment cam adjustment screw.  You probably just broke that off.  Only way to fix is to replace.

Probably a good idea to take the reel apart and find out why the preset adjustment screw is jammed up.

Okay
The Reel sat for 2 years was not properly rinsed and the preset was frozen solid.. what other parts would be affected do you think?.. a tear down will reveal it but was just curious.. Thanks again you guy's

[rodcandy]

Anyways.. after studing the drawings it's most likely that the 2 bearings were frozen and forcing the knob to spin sheared something..
I'm not confident enough to do it myself..
Im told its over the 100. mark + parts to have it done...
Thnx

It shouldn't be more than $60.00 rebuild that reel. It may be very clean inside.

That's if the spool spins freely.

[rodcandy]

Spool is free and smooth
Shifts into both gears great
Yes that's what I was hearing plus another 40.
for shipping back and forth... and...
Thnx

If anyone wants to consider trading a re build on it for a new rod I would consider it.
Send me a PM thnx

[josa1]

What kind of rod?  I'm looking for a 765m graphiter 40-100 pound rod with ceramic insert ring guides and a few other things.  I would gladly trade a complete overhaul, bearing repack, and include whatever "minor" parts are required for that. Would include cash as you saw fit.

You can P M me with your thoughts.  Could you flat rate mail the reel to 90731?
