Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Hey guys, trying to salvage a Torium 16 for an old guy. Inner was rusted pretty bad. Inner tube broke in half need a new one cant find anywhere. Anyone have an extra laying around? Part# TGT0494

You won't find much using that part number. It's now called "10BQ1" and Shimano apparently has >1000 of them in stock for a whole $3.90

Shimano hadn't really done an excellent job of publicizing this part number change. Not that it would be easy to get that info in front of everyone.

But I, as a spectator, appreciate the heck out of you stepping up to help folks find that what they need often is quite available, just labeled different.

Another good reason to avoid Shimono reels.  I love mine but their service/support is lacking.
