Reel parts, nuts ,bearings and such

Sat Mar 20, 2021 4:50 pm

Hey, been having trouble sourcing the small stuff in ireland/europe. I've been looking for a handle but for an abu baitcaster, same for abu classic 6500c and some insides for an okuma Jaw. I know they arent expensive reels but would rather spend 5 or 8euro for bits rather than 50 or 60 for new reels.
Thanks

Thanks, Cd07 , will check with him. I think I'm sorted for bearings now,found a bag of old reels, plenty of clean working bearings in them. My only remaining issue is the inner part of a bearing is seized onto the drive gear of the akuma(rest of bearing broke away.) Been soaking it in wd40 to try eat away the corrosion.

I've a double handle for an Abu 6500 reel here spare if you need it. Used and some scratches but perfectly serviceable.
