Anybody have a connection/contact for Fin-Nor Parts? I've called the phone number on the website, and got a retail quote. I gave them my account # and they told me to email in my order....which I did.
I haven't heard back in over 1 week....but still need the parts
Unfortunately Pure Fishing own the Fin Nor brand (and about a thousand others in fishing) and there seems to be issues with emails to "fishingspares@ purefishing.com" going astray, and no way to track orders (let alone any online ordering) have been told to cc in one of the reps in Australia "just in case", although it seems that their email system is now working. The email addresses are all on a .com address regardless of the country, and I have traced emails that ended up in Iceland. It might be worth a phone call to whatever phone number you can find for the USA?
From my contact with pure fishing,the part I wanted, was available @ a reasonable price, but they wanted AU$30 for postage, from Sydney to WA, so I did not do the deal,& I did not bother keeping there contact details, good luck cheers Don.

No such thing as "a reasonable price" with PF, parts are 2-3 times the price of an equivalent Shimano part!

That's the difference between owning the factory and subcontracting component production.
Also I really thought fin nor was zebco owned not PF. But I've been wrong before.
W.C. Bradley sold Fin-Nor to Pure Fishing before it's sale of Zebco and Quantum to Rather Outdoors, the owner of Lews. Not a good thing for parts availability.
My wild, uneducated guess is that PF is backed by VCs looking for $$$; at least that's how they act. There seems to be little interest in fishing, it's all about profit.
I have a bunch of new Fin-Nor parts. Send me an idea what you are looking for maybe I can help.
Do you have any arb sleeves for the Ahab Spinners? I've been chasing them for a year.

Do you happen to have any parts numbers. I'd be happy to check.

I'm sorry. No luck on those parts. We tried.
