Here is a pic of the broken sprocket (?)  It has a crack at the 3'oclock position... Any help locating a new part is appreciated... thanks

Welcome aboard, Grappa!

Looked through some OC parts —- so the clicker sprocket does not seem to be a separate part from the spool.  At least it appears that way.

Which means either a replacement spool is needed —- or some surgery is required to adapt a clicker sprocket from another spool onto yours.

Thought I got rid of most of the OC reels a year or two ago.  But found maybe a couple of dozen more mixed in with 4 Brothers, Pflueger, JC Coxe, Sea Scouts, etc.

Best, Fred

Wow, so there are members, that are fishing these!
Couldn't believe, I stumbled upon this reel a few days ago doing some research, to see how far back, they were using magnets in old surf Casting reels!
Even messaged Fred, to see if he had one for sale!

I just looked up in Mike's brilliant OC book —- a 612.

If it is a 12/0 size —- I have nothing that large in OC.  Just Penn.
