Automatic fly reel
« on: May 22, 2007, 08:07:48 AM »
I have an old Shakespeare Model 1821 automatic reel that needs a cleaning.

Is there a safe way to open these things up without having springs shooting out all over the room?  :o

Thanks in advance.

not sure , i took the line off and sprayed with break cleaner then dripped light oil in the holes and slots , that spring looks like it would be harder to put back than smoke !
