Older Abu Garcia 200Slp Bc Reel

[the reel ess]

Anybody else have one of these? I picked it up cheap, used of course. What can you tell me? What's the retrieve ratio? There seems to be no info available online for it. It's a graphite or composite frame reel and has a "flipping switch" on it. I emailed PureFishing.com requesting a part but haven't heard back from them yet (if ever).The levelwind guide that rides on the worm gear seems to be worn and it occasionally stays to one side for a few cranks. If I can fix that free, I have a good little reel.

Thanks, man. Well, I started to take it apart. I've replaced one on a Daiwa twice. I had the idea I would look to see if it could be turned 180 degrees. And it was LOOSE. I tightened it and oiled the worm gear. Now I can't make it catch. I'll give it a good workout next time out. This rounds out the 5 basic bass fishing combos for me...2 spinning and 3 BC.

I cleaned and tightened it. I tried it and it was better, but still did the same. So I exchanged the same part with an ABU 5000C. I'll give it another try.

The correct pawl for that reel is part # 1104800. The one for the 5000C (part#5176 or 51765) may or may not fit.
