Does anyone know of anyone who can check out one of my Abu Garcia reels and tell me what’s going on? I have taken it down, cleaned and lubed it and I still can’t get it to work. I think something is worn out on the plastic parts they use now because when I push the bail button, it will not disengage. I can usually do this myself, but this one has stumped me and it is my favorite reel! Thanks in advance!!!
I recently carried an old Penn 210 to Irby Street Sporting Goods in Florence for repair. They did a good job.
which abu garcia reel? what model? from personal experience, don’t use anything that is not made for saltwater. I switched over to all penn battle and sargus a few years ago and I have not had any issues since. Abu doesn’t make very many saltwater reels.
Yeah, but I’ve been using these Abu reels for years!!! I clean them well and always rinse after each trip. Idk. It looked to me like one of the olastic parts was worn. There was plastic shavings inside when I opened it up. Who knows, I may just be sol in this one though!!! Gonna fish tomorrow with my son. Any pointers??? LOL
