Schematics

[Lunker Larry]

OK. I don't know if someone slid me a stupid pill or I'm losing it in my old age but why can't I find schematics on Okuma and Shimano web sites anymore?

someone slid Shimano a stupid pill -- even the word "schematic" seems to have disappeared from their sites:

you can only get current schematics by going to the model & clicking "MANUAL"
does NOT work on fish.shimano.com (yet?)
works on fish.shimano-eu.com

For Okuma reels (current) go to the Reel Product in question e.g. Okuma Andros and select Downloads - this will give you a choice of which model - then simply download the PDF manual/schematic.

For older reels try one of the many sites offering schematics e.g.

Thanks for the info. Yes, if it wasn't for all the other sites I'd be euchred.

The best Shimano schematics are found on the Australian site.

Thank you Dawn.  I do not understand why Shimano USA made their schematics go away.
