The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

I bought this reel with the attention it did have some problems with the line pillars and a wobble coursed by the bend line pillars.
i simply used pliers and a piece of brass that fist precisely between the two rings and bring the pillars back in shape





a simple job but with care, the reel is ready to use a gain

Nice work , looks great .

Oh, that's clever Evert.
Is the brass used as a measure or to wedge the two faces apart pulling the pillars straight?

For Both, the distance must be the same, and pulling the pillars straight with the pliers, if the metal plate fits well you can lay it also on the sides from the pillars to see if it is straight

I know it has been said before but Evert you are magic!!!

That's both brilliant and simple Evert. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks gents
