  • In this video I show you two types of common issues that result in the anti-reverse failing on your spinning reel and how to repair both. I hope this was helpful!
    And if anyone can tell me why this option even exists on our reels comment below and let me know.

    My father passed away a few years ago. I recently found one of his fishing poles and the anti-reverse did not work due to unhooked spring. Thanks to your video it is fixed. Now I have another wonderful memory of my dad. Thank you.

      I'm so glad this couldve helped. My best memories with my dad were of being on the water. He worked a lot and was... out a lot... but we had those memories and I know that's why I have this passion today. Tight lines my friend

    *Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*

    Very informative video. I was having a anti-reverse button problem on my Rapala Arachnid 5000. Opened it up and I had the two issues! The spring was off the switch and then the silver ring was slipping a bit off the tooth gear so I used a potent glue and it hold quite nicely. Thanks a lot!

  • @OzRanger5645
    @OzRanger5645 Před rokem

    Mate, your video was so helpful, I thought I was gonna have to buy a new reel, I pulled it apart and sure enough, that tiny spring had popped off, it was a bit of a pain to get it back on but in less than a 2 mins the reel was fixed… thanks heaps man..

  • @CanadianKangroo
    @CanadianKangroo Před 5 lety +4

    OMG you are a life saver!! My problem was the second one.... Thought the reel was just going to be going in the garbage. My local tackle shop wouldn't even help me.
    My only complaint is that the video was a bit out of focus on the small components part.... so it was hard to see. But it all worked out Thanks!

    • @TheFishinDad
      @TheFishinDad  Před 5 lety

    • @stealyerface2004
      @stealyerface2004 Před 5 lety

      As an addition to the video, for those who do use JB Weld, after one hour, make sure you scrape off any excess weld that is inside the bearing/gear. It will peel off like rubber cement, and allows the glue to remain just inside the cylinder, and not hunk up the works. Great tutorial, and a pretty easy DIY for saving some $ on sending a reel in for service.

I'm fighting with one now it worked i took apart to greese omg they sold me wrong stuff it was so thick. i have to take apart clean the best i could and sprayed lithium grease inside to fix. took a while being i had no cleaner to get old greese out but charcoal lighter fluid it worked with some stuff a guy had for greese. but i got the reverse kinda fixed. it had 3 settings. stop or stops back at the trigger spot or not at all. well only 2 work. I'll try to fix again later. but it's a brim reel i ain't to worried. but good video thanks god bless

    wondering if you can help, i have a shimano fx200 and i noticed the rotor head appears to have some play ,idk if this is from wear n tear or designed like that, but since it has the quick fire trigger thing for opening the bail it might be no longer as smooth operating as it should be or might be doing more damage when using it since there is possibly too much play in the rotor head ,i dont think its possible to remove the head or fix this issue as i see no screws or nuts to do this, will it come off if i remove the gears or the main arbor(ie post)?
