Before I go directly to Abu, just wanted to know if anyone has any other places they go to get replacement parts.

Seems the little black screw knob that controlled the drag on my Black Max reel fell off, and now I am without it, while it worked fine for a while I had to respool and now I need a new knob. I know for 50 bucks it would be easier to just buy a new reel, esp. now that the Revo Gen 2's are on sale, I just might. I also do not want to get punched in the face buying a new reel when I should be spending more money on my up and coming wedding

So any tips are welcome, thanks.

I believe you're referring to the cast control knob. The drag is set with the star behind the crank handle. You'll need the cap as well as the spacers inside. Calling ABU direct is your best bet.

Thanks, will do
