Both lures look great!

I agree that doing something about litter is more effective than saying something especially around kids. They're the future.

Thanks for the advice. The spool is marked "Super Free" so that's what I was going on. I got the pin out by using a modified spring loaded punch. Getting it back in may be the hardest part. You're right if I were wise, I'd send it to a qualified tech such as yourself but poor men have poor ways.

2003 - Bearing shows rust on outside and though not frozen is rough when spun. It's sold as part of the spool assembly (BNT1507).

I've got a Curado 200BSF that has a bad spool bearing. To replace you have to remove the pin that goes through the spool shaft and engages the pinion gear. Does anyone know how to remove this pin? I'm guessing it's a press fit but don't want to ruin the shaft by trying to press out. thanks

With the help of the schematic you provided it's back together and appears to be working. I had the one way roller bearing reversed. But, just to make sure I'm heading to Lake Oz Wednesday to give it a "field test". Bass are moving to the beds, full moon tomorrow, gotta go! I'm leaving my grandson with a Zebco 33 and a schematic to keep him occupied. thanks again - Mike

Got it ReelMech - I owe you - thanks Mike!

FYI - first of all thanks for all your responses. I contacted Lew's customer service phone # as suggested which is actually Quantam and repeatedly got a recording so left a message stating that I needed a schematic for a Lew's Laser 300HS. That was on 4/24 at 8:00. So far no response. If any has a schematic, I'd be happy to pay costs of copying and postage. My next option is to buy a Laser 300HS for an example and this time do it by the right book as Reel Mech suggested. thanks all - Mike

OK - I did it by the book - as I took the reel apart I laid the parts out in assembly order. My mistake was going upstairs to make a sandwich for my grandson and I and leaving him in the shop. He's now "helped" grandpa by rearranging the parts from smallest to largest (clever little booger). I don't have the schematic - the reel belongs to my fishin' partner and he don't have the schematic but he did have a few choice words about children. Can anyone help with a schematic? If not, anyone want to buy a very used, dirty Laser 300HS in pieces (just kidding). Mike

Where can I find Jeff Nieson's article on reel tuning? This foul Misery (Missouri) weather has me wandering my shop looking at my tackle instead of wandering the lakes as I should be in mid-April. thanks!
