Had a machinist make some ss clicker buttons for the 300, and larger Newells. Will be getting a price to make springs, and pawls, so could be sold as a kit. It would enable getting that stupid plastic clicker out of the reels.
Sorry can't post pics (yet), but they look identical to the originals.
Am selling the buttons for, $5 ea, and that is almost what I paid to have them made.
Good price, thanks for having these made.
Thanks, TW --
I have always needed to replace mine with a Penn kit -- works just fine.
But your idea is much better.
Best,
Fred
