Largemouth21 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 my baitcaster tension knob won't click after I took it off to check to make sure it was lubricated. it is an Abu Garcia pro max 3. here are some pics by the way the 2 pics of the gold part are the same part just different angles Quote
bigturtle Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 did you try putting it back with a schematics on hand? I didn't know promax tention knobs clicked 1 Quote

I didn't know promax tention knobs clicked I have the schematic but it just shows the gold thing going in between the reel and the tension knob cap. And yeah it used to click Quote

I dont see it on the schematic that is the old version. this is the current schematic. it's either part 55 or 56. pretty sure that it's part 56. not exactly sure what part 55 is I don't think I've even seen that one. Maybe that's my problem but it worked before. thanks for the help Quote
bigturtle Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 sounds like you are missing parts. good luck 2 Quote

I didn't know promax tention knobs clicked Just checked my pro-max and it does click. Never paid attention to it until now. I'm not taking it apart now. Did that before with a Skeet Reese W&M reel and the brake doesn't work right. Lol 2 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 There should a click washer like the one in the cap only with two legs that insert in the holes in the side plate. The gold click spring sandwiches in between them. 3 Quote

Probably next winter sometime Quote
