Out of boredom, I was taking apart my Shimano Sedona yesterday. When I removed the oscillating gear, the plastic piece it sits on came off with it. Not sure how it happened, but I'm guessing the plastic cracked the last time I dropped it. So basically, the oscillating gear no longer has something to spin around. Tried putting it back with super glue (which I think may have been a huge mistake) but no matter what I try the piece wont sit right and when I turn the handle it obviously isn't smooth anymore. 

 

So should I buy another sedona 2500?  I was thinking that since I have an extra spool, handle, bail etc... it would help the re-sale value when I finally no longer want the reel. I know they're not worth much but it feels like I'd be wasting all these good usable pieces by buying a different reel....it wasn't the smoothest but I liked the way it balanced on my mojo bass and my elite tech. I also have a president lying around with a silent drag because the spool clicker went bust on. 

 

What would you do in my situation? 

It might cost you only 10-15 bucks for a part, instead of spending 60-70 for new reel. The spare spool may worth 10-15 bucks but other parts is not really worth anything. 

I may be mistaken, but isnt that a bushing it sits on? Replace it with a bearing of equal size. 

Call Shimano they’ll send you the part. 
what can it hurt. 
I broke a part on my 30 year old Curado and they sent me the part for free

I would just get another reel.

You can usually find the Sedona reel for around $50. Or get a Sahara or Nasci for alittle more.

If I remember correctly the Sedona spool will fit on the other two models also.

I wouldn't even worry about replacing parts on an inexpensive reel honestly. Just get a new one because other things are bound to go wrong once one thing does.

I'm with Glaucus - that price-range of reels...just replace the reel.

You thinking is so conflicting, you choose to spend another 50-60 bucks for again CHEAP new reel.

No, just plastic which is already molded for the gear to be put around. 9418 is the oscillating gear. 
 

I’m looking at the pflueger supreme 35x. A big Canadian outdoors chain has all reels 20% off. Larger spool and it the same weight as the Sedona so it should balance well..Or go with the nasci if the Sedona spool does indeed fit.

Can anyone confirm that? 

You’d have to buy a whole new frame. Lot more than $15. 

seem like you have FD model? The part you mentioned is the one in circle?

 

The right body part (12190) cost only 8.88 dollars but seem like you are in Canada, not sure how much the cost after shipping plus FD is pretty old might as well get new reel. Your choice man.

I screenshotted the wrong one from my phone! Thanks for pointing that out, I dont have the original papers so I've been looking online for reference.  I have the HG but it is built the same way. Oscillating gear sits on the body. Either way, it seems like I'm better off getting a new reel at this point. Still undecided on which to get though...
