Title: Baitrunner 3500B loose weight inside rotor
Post by: FatTuna on April 12, 2015, 05:33:49 AM
Does anyone know where this belongs? I heard something ratting inside a reel I was working on. Inside the non-roller side of the rotor was a loose piece of metal that should be secured somewhere inside there. Without it, it has a slight wobble. I believe that it was secured in there with some kind of adhesive. The rotor is graphite. What do you guys recommend that I use to glue it back in? Would a loctite epoxy work? I already have a bunch. Thanks.

5 min epoxy  is good enough, just make sure it's a clean surface

Seems to be a common problem on those reels.  I've glued numerous ones back in.   There is a "spot" that it fits in perfectly.....rounded side down.

5 Epxoy will work just fine.

Thanks guys. I found the spot and the epoxy worked well. No more rotor wobble.
