Hi to All ,
I have searched as well as I can, and nowhere can I find a picture, tutorial, or instructions on how to remove the strike alert button from right side plate on a penn international reel.I have a 50TW stripped down but don't want to force anything apart. It seems to be in there VERY tight.

Also, could someone explain the procedure for searching any subject.  I type in simple requests  (''Penn strike alert button'' for example ) and get no results 90% of the time. I am definitely doing something wrong.
Thanks for any help on either subject.

Don't criticize our kids. We too were once "young n' dumb".... Fortunately - and sadly - neither condition is permanent.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Not sure if this will help you:

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Remove the locking hardware inside the plate and knock the old assembly out. Replace with a new assembly.

Use Google as your search engine:

site:alantani.com Penn+strike+alert+button

Brings back a link to this thread. Use the plus sign to include words, the - sign to exclude words.

I hope that helps.

o.k. I got it out. Wasn't that hard to do once I knew the procedure. I was just afraid to HIT IT ! until I new all the things to keep it from coming out were removed.  Handi2, you say to replace the assembly. I gather from that - it's not going to help to try and get that little nut off the end of the clicker so I can get inside to clean things up. The spring is shot, I am sure. Or so full of corrosion that it can't ''spring''

And to JoseCuervo, that was slick. I will remember to search that way in the future. "Google the all knowing  "

I'm going to toss the hole clicker assembly in some reel clean and go from there. I do not have any spare clicker assemblies. ( well I do, but only if I rob Petere to pay paul. - temporarily )

As always, a great site full of helpful people.
