Spinning Reel
How do you fix the locking mechanism on a spinning fishing reel?

I went on a fishing trip recently and 2 of my spinning reels stopped locking. I was told to take it apart and clean it, but how do you actually fix it?

Sounds like the anti-reverse failed on you. It could be sticky, old reel grease gumming up, it could be debris build up inside the reel, it could be weakened spring, or it could be worn out parts. Since the reel failed to work properly already, you mind as well take the reel apart and try to fix it yourself. I think most people could fix a fishing reel most of the time. Don't pop everything apart at once. Do it step by step and try to memorize where each part goes. You'll need to remember the orders of the washers as well. Taking notes will really help because you can't always remember everything. Fishing reels aren't that complicated. There's only one correct way to put them back together. If you study the parts a little, you should be able to figure out how anti-reverse mechanism worked. Usually, there's only one spring and one lever biting onto one gear. Once you figured out how everything worked, disassemble and clean all internal parts. If its weakened springs, you could bend (leaf spring) or pull the (coil) spring to squeeze a little more life out of it; you could use the old spring until you found replacement parts. Check you reel's gears for wears and damages while you're at it. Put the reel back together and check for function. If the reel is working properly, take it apart and grease the gears. Apply grease to gears and light oil to other parts. Keep in mind too much grease in the reel might not be good in the long run because debris will stick to grease and excess grease could gum up internal parts. Check for function again after the grease and oil. If you couldn't put the reel back together after several attempts and everything appeared hopeless, you could always bring the reel in for service inside a plastic bag; just make sure you don't loose any parts.

I clean and service all my reels myself. Some reels are very easy and some reels are absolutely painful to put back together. So far, I've not killed any of my reels yet and all reels were put back together without too much problem. I'm able to put most reels back within 15min. There's only 1 reel which took me over two hours and many attempts to put it back together properly for the very fist time.

PS: Try to download the schematics for your reel before you take it apart really helps.

You want to try something new in a spinning reel? The U. S. Reel company has invented a superb spinning reel with many features and benefits that can make your fishing experience outstanding! These reels are up to 50% lighter when they are compared to other spinning reels with similar spool diameters. They are made of super light carbon fiber components which is the same material used in the B-2 Stealth bomber, plus its as strong as it is light. If you want to cast a long distance with accuracy, this is the reel for you. Casting distance is one of its defining features because of the wide spool. It will out cast any other spinning reel with a “long-nose”.

Another great benefit of these “supercasters” is less line twisting and low line memory. The supercasters wide spool design significantly reduces line twisting which has always been a major draw back of using spinning reels. These reels also come with a new type of drag system that starts faster and with less effort than other spinning reels does. They have a patent pending system that will maintain a smooth, steady pressure from the time you set the hook, until you bring it in the boat.

The Supercaster weighs less than most 1000 size reels, yet you can do the same job as a 1000-4000 size spinning reels. No other reel on the market today can match that! These are high performance reels used in fresh water or salt water to catch Bass, Walleye, Redfish, Snook, Northern Pike, Trout, Salmon, Panfish and many more species of fish.

The supercaster is also a great reel if you prefer to use braid. Other benefits include a spool lip within easy reach regardless of the spool position, making it much easier to feather or pitch casts. A spool arbor is included to adjust line capacities and eliminate backing for many fishing conditions. The arbor is also sticky to make it difficult for braid to slip.

Other Features:

Stainless Roller Bearings, Aluminum or carbon fiber body SX – Composite- XL, Spools made from Aluminum, Spool shaft is stainless steel, Handles up to 30lb test of braid line and 16lb test of mono.
