Fishing Reel Okuma Parts
When looking at fishing rod repair, you should first know how the fishing reel works. The fishing reel is basically a winch that is attached on a fishing rod which is used to pull back a fishing line. The most common types of fishing reels are bait casting reels, spin cast reels, open face spinning reels, and fly reels.
One of the most important tips in fishing reel repair is to keep your reel in good condition. If you keep your reel lubricated and clean, you will find it lasts a lot longer than otherwise. Using alcohol or some form of lubricant such as this will go a long way in doing this. No matter how good of condition you do keep your reel though, you will find that at some point it will wear down and stop working. Some of the ways this happens is the spring on the reel spool can become over worn and stop working. The spring mechanism that keeps the spool from moving on its own can also wear down and break. The bail on a spinning reel can break, and the springs and drag washers on bait casting reels can become worn and break.
In order to fix your reel, first know which reel you are working on. Some parts that you might need in order to fix your fishing reel is a screwdriver, pliers, wrench, and lubricant.
In almost every situation though, you can fix your fishing reel by replacing the broken part which is available at most fishing good stores.
Here are some quick tips to fixing your reels. If you need to fix an open face spinning reel and put in a new bail and spring, here is how to do it.
First, remove the nut that keeps the line spool attached to the reel. Next, take out the bail and also take out the lock nut that is keeping the bail arm in place. Third, take out the bail spool. Check the bail and roller, also replacing it if is broken or damaged. Fourth, put in the new bail in the bail arm. Next, using your pliers, remove the old spring. Check the spring and replace it if it is also broken, if not, put the spring back in place. Next, put the roller back on the bail and arm. Lastly, make sure the lock nut on the bail is tight.
If you find your springs and drag washers on a bait casting reel is not working, here is a guide to fixing it. First, remove the handle nut and take out the handle. Don’t lose the drag or drag washers with it. Next, take out the plate screws, then remove the spool and the plate. Third, take out the bridge screws attached to the plate. Next, take out the bridge, spring, ratchet, and the main gear as well. Take out the spring and drag washers and clean and lubricate those as well. Next, replace any part that is not working and broken or worn down. Lastly, put everything back together in opposite order of what was installed.
Lastly, to fix the spool spring on a fly reel, first remove the cover on the axle and the old spool spring. Put in the new spring attached to the catch. Make sure it is aligned and put the axle back on.
These are just several common problems and quick tips in fishing reel repairing. There are of course many more things that could have gone wrong and problems that might arise but hopefully this guide will help you in finding out how to fix your fishing reel by yourself.
