Africaster Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Took the reel apart for a maintenance session and got a tad carried away. On taking apart the drag knob, I noticed (too late) a spring with what looks like a piece of plastic which creates the clicking sound when you adjust the drag - I managed to find it after 30 mins of crawling around my study ..... BUT ...... there are 2 holes where it looks like the spring(s) should go, am I missing another 1? (All the schematics I've managed to find don't show an exploded view of the knob). Thanks.

Now is the time to change our attitude towards blues, next year may well be too late (Somebody listened ) Member of the Yellow Eyed Devils May you never have to fish to live, rather live to fish.

speedwell Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Any Penn schematic I have seen shows the knob as one piece not its components so I took mine off and took it apart via the two little screws. There are two holes in the top portion. Only one of them is populated with a little spring with a brass "bullet" head. That little head is what clicks against the ridged ring in the bottom half that contains in its centre a coil spring. So, two holes but only one bullet. If I get my camera back from my daughter later I will post a pic. Regards Puck Puck - Ditch Troll #42 and Mouse #320, the Canadians - Eh!
