Thank you all for the views on this!! I truly hope it was helpful!

My father passed away a few years ago. I recently found one of his fishing poles and the anti-reverse did not work due to unhooked spring. Thanks to your video it is fixed. Now I have another wonderful memory of my dad. Thank you.

*Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*

5 years later and this video saved me from buying another reel, thank you.

I love taking reels apart, you learn a lot and/or break a lot. I don't ruin as many as I used to.

I was able to fix my reel with the instructions you presented in the video. I was thinking it couldn't be fixed and almost threw my reel out before I saw your video. You saved me money which is helpful with prices on everything going up. Thanks for doing this.

really saved my bank account today almost went to go buy a new reel thankfully saw this video🙏🏿

I love KZfaq. It’s videos like this that make it so great. Thanks man. I am terrible at fixing things but I was able to fix my busted reel with this video.

Dude, I've never left a comment ever...but you just nailed down my issue exactly, thanks for the great tutorial.

One of the most informative and well presented KZfaq instructions I have come across for any issue

Thank you for responding so quickly I really appreciate you from what you told me I saw the post and I got it done I had to Spring backwards so the real kept spinning both ways now it spins one way the way it's supposed to had a rope tied around the pole and a handle to stop it from moving not anymore thank you very much God bless

Thanks for posting, I never knew. I have a small box full of reels with the same problem. Looks like I will be busy.

6 year old video but saved my life.. thanks 👍🏼🔥

Awesome some very cool hints there!!!! Take care and tight lines!!!

Thank you so much. I was about to throw my Pflueger President away and get a new one. Not only did you save me 60-70 bucks... you allowed me to catch some more monsters on this reel. You rock. Tight lines 🤙🤙

Just what I was looking for! Thanks and well done.

Dude, thank you so much...I have a Browning spinning reel that I really love and it had Problem # 2. I never would have guessed that your solution was the problem. Awesome!

OMG you are a life saver!! My problem was the second one.... Thought the reel was just going to be going in the garbage. My local tackle shop wouldn't even help me. My only complaint is that the video was a bit out of focus on the small components part.... so it was hard to see. But it all worked out Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video. First solution fixed my anti reverse perfectly.

Thank you. Bought a new reel and this happened after about 5 uses. I wasn't really sure what to search for, but I'm glad I found this. Tytyty!!

OMG.😯 I was ready to trash my favorite reel now I'm back in action thanks buddy.

Very helpful, 1st repair helped, stayed for the 2nd to get more smarter!! Thanks

Very informative video. I was having a anti-reverse button problem on my Rapala Arachnid 5000. Opened it up and I had the two issues! The spring was off the switch and then the silver ring was slipping a bit off the tooth gear so I used a potent glue and it hold quite nicely. Thanks a lot!

nice tips...fixed my quantum reel quickly based on these helpful tips!!!

Awesome, just bought a new reel with this issue and resolved it myself with your tutorial. Great job!

wondering if you can help, i have a shimano fx200 and i noticed the rotor head appears to have some play ,idk if this is from wear n tear or designed like that, but since it has the quick fire trigger thing for opening the bail it might be no longer as smooth operating as it should be or might be doing more damage when using it since there is possibly too much play in the rotor head ,i dont think its possible to remove the head or fix this issue as i see no screws or nuts to do this, will it come off if i remove the gears or the main arbor(ie post)?

Thanks so much, I ran into the issue in part 2, fixed with JB weld!

Good deal.... appreciate the time you took to video that. My Wally Marshall micro reel can be fixed! That's gonna save me some money!

I spent 2 hours to find and fix the problem and I opened KZfaq I searched and this video came up and In just 5 minutes I fixed my reel the video it was very helpful thanks man

1st video I've ever seen with this many views and no dislikes. Thanks for the info. Very helpful! Well done.

Awesome video and great tips thanks for sharing with us all. As always happy fishing and tight lines

Great instructions. It worked! Since I have 4 Pfleuger reels I ordered a second spring and am now glad I did. Thanks.

awesome tips, I love those old rhinos I used to have a few.

Thank you do much I just fixed my reel that small tiny spring how annoying what if you completely lost that spring what can you use as a replacement just out of curiosity because my spring while trying to fix it part of it broke off

I fixed mine thanks to your video. Thanks!

Thanks my friend. I had a reel I was about to toss in the garbage. Watched your video and discovered the spring had sprung. I toom a spring out of a pen, it was way too big, but I doubled the spring and it has corrected teh problem 100%. Thank you for posting this.

Another great video brother. One of my favorite channels!

Brilliant video! Thanks so my much! Beautifully explained. 😁👍🏻

I've got the same shakespeare reel but my anti reverse stopped working all of a sudden I've taken it apart and the spring is still in place any ideas what else it could ? Tried to find more vids on your channel with this Shakespeare reel but couldnt find any

Thanks!! You just helped me save my favorite reel!! (problem #2 is what I had)

Thanks very much! The spring fell of somehow, I put it back in and it's all good now!

An excellent video. You make it look easy. Thank you so much.

Just potentially saved me from replacing a shimano stella spinning reel. That’s $1000 I did not want to have to spend. Thanks man!

Awesome video. Tiny misaligned spring on my switch was causing my anti reverse issue.

Thanks that really helped. I fixed my real with no issues at all

Mate, your video was so helpful, I thought I was gonna have to buy a new reel, I pulled it apart and sure enough, that tiny spring had popped off, it was a bit of a pain to get it back on but in less than a 2 mins the reel was fixed… thanks heaps man..

I have issue number 2 with one of my Quantums. Took the reel apart. Only problem was I could not remove the metal bushing from the plastic antireverse gear. Any ideas?

I'm currently on vacation and ran into this problem. Thank you for the video I got the real repaired and back in action!

Great video, working on mine.... keep ya posted.

Worked a treat👍 thanks a million. Tight lines

great video i have the same problem but my daiwa d wave doesnt have a anti reveres lever...but now spinsbackwards what do i do?

My spring was busted, took a pen spring, had to cut it down a bit, but it worked fine. Thanks!

I got this issue today i was worried hope my problem is same as yours mate ... Thank you so much 🙏

Hey, Do you mind telling me exactly where the spring goes? Im having a little trouble seeing where it is... Thank you

We’re new at fishing and I knew this pole was supposed to lock. Thanks for helping! I’ll be fixing it.

That was great dude! Thank you!

Great video!!! Very helpful, especially with problem #2!!!

OK in 2021 your video is STILL helping people! TY for this I was able to fix my Black Max reel (Problem #1) in about 5 minutes and I thought it was doomed. Thanks again in 2021!

thanks. yea i don't have many prob with them but the anti on the back side if the reel i do. I'm fighting with one now it worked i took apart to greese omg they sold me wrong stuff it was so thick. i have to take apart clean the best i could and sprayed lithium grease inside to fix. took a while being i had no cleaner to get old greese out but charcoal lighter fluid it worked with some stuff a guy had for greese. but i got the reverse kinda fixed. it had 3 settings. stop or stops back at the trigger spot or not at all. well only 2 work. I'll try to fix again later. but it's a brim reel i ain't to worried. but good video thanks god bless

my reel thats called the anti reverse clutch spring. the regular antireverse spring is a little piece of metal that bent at a 45 degree angle. i dont know how it popped out on me. that said idk how it goes back in against the clutch switch. cant find anything on it. was wondering if you have seen thoes before and if you know how to put it in. megacast mct10. part 41 i think on the diagram

Great video, very helpful, cheers.

Really handy! Just fixed my Okuma!!! Nearly binned it as it was sooooo annoying!
