Hi members.
I am looking for a pinion gear for my Daiwa Saltist 50H. I went out fishing a few weeks ago on the rocks testing the waters to see if the cob arrived yet, after the 4th cast I got stuck wich was inevitable only to have my spool come loose under tention as I was trying to get unstuck. After this happened I went back home, stripped the reel, investigate what happened only to find that the pinion gear stripped. I am posting here in hopes to possibly find a good pinion gear for my reel as I have been searching all over localy and everyone just keeps saying unfortunately the parts is discontinued amd they cant help me. Please let me know if there is someone out there that might be able to help with a gear. This reel was a gift from my Dad and I would like to fix it up again if possible.
Welcome to the forum! Hopefully somewhere here has the parts to get Dad's reel working again. - john
Assuming it's the older 50H with the holes in the frame crossbar?
Part number is E61-1301.
These guys show 7 in stock:

I'd consider swapping out the drive gear at the same time.
E61-1401

Thank you I will have a look.
I domt know how to add a picture but I belivie it is the same.
What boon said. If the pinion is stripped the main is probably bad too. And it's generally recommended to replace both at the same time anyway.
Good luck!
