Title: Daiwa Tournament SS600i - need help
Post by: Lunker Larry on October 27, 2018, 07:40:37 PM
I'm not a spinning reel guy and don't do too many but a buddy asked me to check out his spinning reel for him. The part the screw driver is pointing at fell out the back of the reel and I cannot figure out the orientation of how it is supposed to go back and am unable to find a schematic. Can anyone help?

Thanks Alan. I found the same. I've put these in before but it was a while ago and I can't remember. This one will not let me put the rear cap on so that it fits flush. Got me stumped.

This is a Whisker Tournament SS-600i.It also says Karaman on it. It has a sticker under the spool in Japanese.
Is it possible this is a Japanese model? Is there a site specific to Japanese version reels if this is the case?
The owner was a tournament fisherman sponsored by Daiwa in the past.

Thanks to Randy I got it figured out. As he suggested, it fell out when I was removing the rear cap so I thought that is where it came out of. Had tried it in this same location before but couldn't make it work. A new day and a fresh effort paid off. Thanks to Randy and those who were considering my issue.
Tight lines all.
PS. I said I did it long ago and remembered it as soon as I put it in. Sometimes you just have to be told twice  :D
