Title: Newell 300c spool play
Post by: Fishgolfman on November 15, 2022, 06:23:10 AM
The spool has lots of side to side play even with bearing cranked all the way in. Do you need to add shims and where do you get the shims?

You use a WHITE PLASTIC shim on the clicker side. The handle side just gets snug NOT TIGHT & ajust on the clicker side.
