Pflueger President XT reel repair

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I was out fishing today and notice that the drag clicker on my reel wasn’t making any audible noise when playing a fish.  I unscrewed the spool assembly from the reel and noticed that the clicker had actually broken off.  I have a replacement for it, but here’s the deal, for some reason on this model Pflueger decided to use a pin instead of a simple screw to hold the clicker down.  Are there any fellow owners of this model of reel in here that know how to pull the pin out?

@Delaware Valley Tackle- Mike, can you help this guy out?

Does the pin come out or does the clicker press onto it? Is there a small e clip perhaps. That’s one I haven’t needed to do yet. A clearer close up might help me help you. 

Some of the schematics don’t show the clicker as an available part separate from the spool. Maybe ordering bad pool and having a back up is worth considering. If you have tools and are up to the task maybe drilling the broken one out and replacing it with the screw in version could be experimented with.
