just an update on the 420ss shaft
what looks like a spear head on
the end of the ss shaft was rusted on.
soaked it in acetone,
shaft in vice
depress the release button
hammered the cog
sry no pic
cleaned it up and its good to go.
couldnt figure it out until i
pulled the new one to bits.
cheers

Nice work Wallace.
I saw these today and thought you might be interested in checking 'em out:

They're through that guy Andrew at Downriggers, who you recommended to me some time back.
Hope all's well mate.
Cheers, Justin

Well done Wallace, now you have a spare set.   Why do you guys always have to pull new reels and spares to bits?
