Fixing a broken reel

Featured Replies

I have a Lew's speed spin Mach 1, line got wrapped inside the skeleton so my dad took it apart and unwrapped the line. Now the anti reverse won't work and my bail won't engage. Had a problem with it skipping but it was just ordering of the bearings. Any help would be appreciated

I think the solution will be taking back apart and putting it together, again. Spinning reels are pretty simple but still need to go together correctly. I'm guessing something in there isn't quite right and before assuming it's "broken" I'd lean towards mis-assembled.

I'd definitely agree with mis-assembled, the way Lew's makes their spinning reels it's a pain in the ass. I'll try it again tho

I have a Lews speed spin, and had to take it back apart after the first time I dug into it. Still have no idea what i had wrong but it worked like a champ after I tried again, hahaha
