Hello everyone, I'm new ro the forum and have a reel problem. I borrowed a buddies Browning ultralight  BSL-5   I think,  Originally while useing it the reel would spool the line above the drag knob. I decided to respool new line but when I put the spool on it now appears of center and binds at the bottom of the spool when attempting to reel. It also looks like it sits to low as the drag knob bottoms out when all the way tight. Is it possible i dropped a piece when I removed the spool.  The only thing I see is a small red washed when I take the spool off. Any help would be a huge help.

You probably lost a washer/shim for the spool when you removed it.

The reel is a propriatary reel I believe, sold in combos only, no schematics I know of away from the papers in the box or clam pack.

All of the listing I have seen for that reel are BPS R/R combo's.

If it is from BPS then, I would contact Outdoor World Rod & Reel Repair for more info on schematics and parts.

Good Luck & Tight Lines!
