My bait runner has stopped running, it won't even walk, frozen solids and only functions as a non-bait runner now.
Anyone got any ideas and if I open it up will springs and stuff fly off in all directions? --------------------  SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

I have a Shimano 2500BR that I took the side plate off to have a look. If you get yours fixed, I will bring mine over, with all the little springs etc, and you can have a go at re-assembling it for me

Dear Mr Shinny Headarus
It will be as I said , there's a wittle lever which retracts back onto the main gear easy to point out cause it'll have a wee wittle spring attached to it The screw which secures this lever to the reels body has over tightened itself, all ewe need to do it back it off a smidge. Sum times there's no need to even pull reel apart just keep working the baitrunner lever back & forth continually & this may put a bit more pressure on the spring to free up the the stuck lever -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

All fixed, there was a little broken lever inside that selects the baitrunner/normal operation.
I took it up to Viva and Ethan? made it like brand new for me. I was all ready to buy a new one but he just grabbed it & went into attack mode. Their fishing gear is so cheap I want to buy a heap but I don't really need anything at the moment, I'll take the missus up there next week she's much better than me at spending money. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

I can't help you KK there's too many little gizmos inside fishing reels for me.

No mate but he did advise to set my baitrunner with a little tension on it to hook the fish rather than leave it at the lightest possible setting.
Sorta makes sense I guess, it's no big deal but I like to leave mine as light as possible because I like the zzzzzzzzzzzzz noise when it goes off. If I was missing hookups I'd tighten it up a bit to try it. Edit: What day are you bringing my ciggy lighter back?
