James Whalen Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I am getting my reels ready for the upcoming season,on one of my reels I noticed the handle did not seem to be working as well,and the rotar started to become wobbly. I took the reel apart and laid out all the pieces and cleaned them.I took out the schematice and noticed I was missing shims on the main gear. Could this be the cause of the problem? Quote
The Bassman Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Probably not. A wobbly rotor sounds like a loose rotor nut. Would also mess with the handle rotation. What reel is it? Quote
James Whalen Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 It is the ardent s400-m. This reel model was the best spinning reel that Ardent made when they produced "made in USA" fishing reels.I have other reel shims that I will add plus I will tighten my roter nut.I also have one that is new in box,if this does not work I will use it as a parts reel. Thanks for the input Quote
