Hero's on the Water

[hookup]

Guy on another board had a binding Shimano he was going to toss.  Having a little experience with Shimbindo's, I said send it to me and I'll fix it and donate it to Hero's on the Water.

Reel's been sitting on my desk since last year, and since it's shrinkage cold outside, tore it apart. 

Can you see what the problem was?

Let's try this?

Maybe some dirt, little more line than I like. Sprised it was not working

The part on the paper was the friction ring between the bail holder & reel body. Dry rotted. My guess is that he left it in the car in the hot Atlanta sun.

Works like a charm now and off to being donated to Hero's on the Water

Good Deal. Was not sure what you were showing on the paper, I got a stadic out of dumpster a couple years ago and that looks like what I cleaned out between spool and body

Nice reel for someone. I have a couple of those myself and they work really well.

Good for you! That'll make some great American happy.
