Title: parts help
Post by: txangler81 on February 04, 2015, 12:43:33 AM
I have a round profile Winchester super x bait cast reel made by cabelas from the late 90s. The problem I am having is there is a plastic gear on the worm that a piece of it has broken off. I can not find parts I sent emails to the two people cabelas told me  to contact. One didn't know anything about it the other never emailed back. if anyone has any ideas. I would appreciate it.

thanks
Dustin

Hey, Dustin --

A picture would help to maybe ID the reel, in case someone has a parts reel for you.

I might --

Cabelas is a great company...

However, they do not manufacture their own reels -- instead, they are notorious for putting their name on other manufacturer's reels -- generally plastic or graphite reels from Asia -- produced out of a substance referred to as obselesence.  😕😕😕

Generally no parts support network for too long after being manufactured, if at all.  Sometimes, other parts may work -- since more and more -- many of the Asian manufacturers are sourcing common shared components.

Best & Good Luck,

Fred

That one could be very hard.  Someone would have to have a good supply of parts to go through and compare to fine the right part.  I hope you can find what you need.  try to post pictures of the reel and parts that you need because the reel may be similar to one of a different brand.

The best way to locate parts for "off brand" reels is to figure out who made it and what reel they copied, then see if there is any parts interchangeability.
