Title: Tiburon Clicker spring
Post by: Andaman Andy on January 22, 2017, 07:43:50 AM
Hi,

I have a Tiburon 12 that needs a new clicker spring, mailed them got no reply, it looks like a Penn spring, does anyone recognize this part, as they make frames etc. for Penn reels this would make sense, thanks for any help.

Not sure Bryan, but it appears to have a split by the top hole.

Andy, you're not holding the measuring tape correctly in the pic, but I do believe this is the one you need:

Thanks for the reply guy's, yes it has split by the top hole after excessive wear and having to bend the ring to get clicker to work, will try the part you pointed out Sal, but the screw holes do seem a little further part than the ones on my part.

I saw a picture of the clicker ring for a Penn 109 reel and that seemed to have the same shape holes etc. but not sure about dimentions.

ok, i just put it in the mail box with three stamps.  according to the usps website, it should go through as is.  let me know if a few weeks if it does not arrive.  good luck!  ;D
