Need some help, my ocea jigger 5000p, spool is corroded. As a result, there is a couple of small hole. Anyway to patch up or is there any after market spool which I can get? Thk u
I am not 100% sure but a Trinidad or Torium 50 spool may be the same. I'd call Shimano and verify.
The OJ's have the spool lock feature, and I am not sure how that works as far as the actual spool is concerned but it is worth a try.
Mayb I will call up the local dealer in singapore to get some ans. It is a chore wif such corrosion, almost wif many shimano reel tat I know. Thk.
Wander if there is anyway to patch it up n save me some cost!
just add a little grease. that should slow it down. once corrosion starts, you can never get rid of it.
Am I able to get some metal filler, patch up the tiny hole, file it to smoothness and add some paint on it?
yes, but honestly some grease will do just as well...... :-\
Alrite tani... Thk for the advise.
Had a similar corrosion problem on a Trinidad spool. Cleaned the corrosion from around the hole and filled it with two pack epoxy (Araldite Rapid) smoothed off with a wet finger! ;)
Greased per Alan's recommendations and it's still good three years later. ;D
