My new JDM Antares DC handle feel off

You are clearly missing the nut retainer and the screw that secures it to the handle.... yes they have a function and are the reason you lost the nut. 

 The guy I purchased it from sent it without those two parts. I'm not sure how I missed that when I received the reel. I'll reach out to him and see if he will refund me the cost of having to purchase these parts plus shipping. He advertised the reel as almost brand new, and used a picture of a reel that had those parts in the listing. It's worth a shot, all he can say is no.

The bad news is you will need to get them for the 16 DC handle because they mount differently than the 12 Antares HG handle.....check and see if he has them.

I found the 2016 Antares parts diagram. I didn't realize that those two parts were different before purchasing. I emailed Jun and gave him the right diagram, he originally sent me the diagram to the 07 model. Hopefully it doesn't take me 3-4 weeks to get these parts from Japan like he quoted. The reel only took 2-3 days to get to Tulsa somehow. Hopefully Shimano USA will let me cancel the last order. Thanks for the info, I'm excited to get this fixed so I can take it back out on the water!

Hi Stephen,

 

I must apologize for the information I gave you. When reading your post, I did not pick up on the fact that you had the 2016 model. The  '07 model is the same, but , not this current one.

Hope Shimano does cancel the order, and be sure to insist the seller pays for misrepresenting the item he sold you.

 

Cheers,

 

Terry.

 

PS Get the socket too, it is not a PITA to use
