Staro Reels

[Fishgolfman]

Some pictures of drag and clutch. Can't figure out how to get into this! When you turn the black drag dial from 0 to 10. Can feel it tightens. Just no anti reverse.

Rotate the top plate so the nub on one of the 3 prongs lines up about the middle of the 500-2731. That will line up all 3 notches and it just pulls up.

Note the red dot. There is a threaded pin that prevents rotation of clutch. Any ideas?

[Fishgolfman]

You can bend it to get the notch to move. Matter of fact you can break it off to prevent use locktite. Bigger issue. Is how to get main gear off??

[Fishgolfman]

I opened clutch drag mechanism. Cleaned and re assemble reel. Still no anti reverse. Theory its behind main gear and I can't access

[Fishgolfman]

Mystery solved. If you remove shaft and pinion gear. You will find a spring loaded dog. The dog has to be under the pinion gear housing. Mine was miss aligned under neath a shim blocking the anti reverse function. See sandbar pictures of pinion geR and housing

After struggling and taking everthing apart! I feel like i know staro reels well enough except how to access main gear. The next staro will be documented more!!

Now time to find another reasonable Staro

[Fishgolfman]

I found a staro reel with no anti reverse!! My problem is i cant remove the rotor assembly off the shaft. Last time i remember sliding off easily. The shaft slides easily as shown! How do you remove the drag housing???

[Fishgolfman]

I was able to remove rotor by removing an oil port on side

[Fishgolfman]

The clutch has a dog that fits under a set of washers under pinion. Unfortunately this dog was well worn and no longer capable of holding an anti reverse function. I tried all possible placements. Six possibilities and two orientations with three places dog could fit.

The metal brass color dog is very worn on the end as not to work and bite into pinion. It is held in by a tapped post which looks hard to remove. A solution is to build it up with epoxy metal clay. Will try to see if it works. Plan A. Plan b is to remove dog and fabricate a dog from a metal!
