Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Never did work. The thing is crazy smooth. The main gear is at least a quarter inch thick and surprisingly plastic.

anything you want to do is fine.  it also could just be very popular!!!   

the handle arms that i have a stainless steel, water jet cut.  $10 each plus shipping.  they are a copy of the penn arm.  send a pm!

 Yep, just looked at the listing Jason. The listing says those sloppy blades are made in China. That seller only sells stuff made in China. Buyer beware !!

Alan,
One of my recent video messages here "Dropper Loop for yellowtail" has suddenly started showing thousands of views.
It could just be a glitch, but it might possibly indicate some kind of nefarious use being channeled through there.
If you like, I can delete it, and re-post if it would help.

I have a strip in the middle of the backyard and down the far side of the house .  Usually a 5 minute job including 1 stop to empty the pickup bag !

There's a cool photo!!!!!!!!

Good evening all!

     I know it's not a typical spinning reel, but I'm stumped. I took this reel apart to clean and I for the life of me can't figure out how the anti-reverse works.

      The main gear bushing is smooth, nothing for any kind of dog or alike. I just don't see what the spring does. I'm assuming there is something missing and can't find a schematic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Jeff
