Title: ABU-Matic 290 Pickups
Post by: jgp12000 on February 23, 2020, 07:42:42 PM
The pickups on this reel seem to be intermittent depending on how it is screwed into the pinion gear/bushing.I just happened to screw it in right after several attempts.Before I got it right, one pickup would pop back in while turning the handle like the button was being pushed in to cast.Does anyone know is there a proper way to screw this in without it being hit or miss,do I have a bad part or what? The reel is working great now,I am just trying to learn something here?
