Title: Info wanted on a Maple reel

Any help is appreciated.

hmmm...  guessing, no-name Asian baitrunner: doubt schematic exists; probably a copy (mostly) of older branded reel
look for something similar among older Okuma Baitfeeder models, or maybe Liveliner or Daiwa Bite-n-Run

if yours is Chinese & looks like older Okuma -- it's probably mostly same

Thanks for the effort guys.
The only info I could find was the reels were sold here (Australia) by Freddy's tackle shops in 2005 and
there was a maplefishing.com.au. They also did rods and accessories.

If it was a trade reel (branded for a retail outlet), then you need to be looking for the OEM look-alike.  The OEM is the one who would have made a schematic.
