Title: ss clicker buttons
Post by: thinkwahoo on July 23, 2015, 06:54:09 AM
Had a machinist make some ss clicker buttons for the 300, and larger Newells.  Will be getting a price to make springs, and pawls, so could be sold as a kit.  It would enable getting that stupid plastic clicker out of the reels.

Sorry can't post pics (yet), but they look identical to the originals.

Am selling the buttons for, $5 ea, and that is almost what I paid to have them made.

Thanks for doing this. Is tour design the same as Newell or is different?

Be careful of the clicker pawl.  If your reel has a nylon pawl, SS pawl will chew up the plastic rachet on the spool.

When these are available, please post the item in our for sale section.  Thank you for doing this.
