Super User N Florida Mike Posted October 29, 2020 Super User Posted October 29, 2020 I took apart my Nasci 3000 to clean and cant seem to get the spool to go up and down now after several tries. The stud on the bottom gear isnt broken and fits into the slot like it should. No teeth are broken on any of the gears. I also have trouble getting the side plate to line up so it doesnt bind up the reel. I always struggle with reel components because I have big hands AND limited patience! Any help would be appreciated. Quote

Any help would be appreciated. Mike, I'm following your post. I wish I could be of help. I have an older Sedona with the same problem. Mine is still a good reel, but I can't get the spool to travel up and down as it should. Hopefully some guys can comment here, and help us out with this. 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted October 29, 2020 Author Super User Posted October 29, 2020 I watched a you tube video and it showed the problems with why it wouldn’t go up and down. Im pretty sure its just the way Im putting it back together. It looks simple and probably is. 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted October 31, 2020 Author Super User Posted October 31, 2020 I tried again. This is so aggravating. While I was trying to get it back together my cloth chair ripped. So I took it out to throw it away and when I came back in with a spare chair it leaked out of the pipe all over the floor. Get that cleaned up and then couldnt find my glasses. Finally did, and kept trying. When I picked it up to resume trying I accidentally turned it over and everything fell out. Now Ive got a piece I didnt have before, and dont know where it goes.? . Never had this much trouble with a reel before... 1 1 Quote
garroyo130 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Might be time to send it in. Personally I've always had more difficulties with spinning reels than with baitcasters when it comes to reassembly. Im great at taking both apart though ... 1 Quote

Super User NYWayfarer Posted October 31, 2020 Super User Posted October 31, 2020 I feel your pain. I took one of my cheap Lew’s spinning reels apart to grease. Figured it would be simple and if anything went wrong it would be Ok as it was a cheap Xfinity Walmart combo reel, good practice. Well the opening and greasing went fine. Putting it back together was a nightmare. Reminded me of buying a tent and trying to get everything back in the supplied bag. Never fits back in the way it was before you took it out. I eventually got everything back together and it works but I haven’t used it since. Can’t look at it the same way as before I tampered with it. 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted October 31, 2020 Author Super User Posted October 31, 2020 Another thing is that I finally found the rod I was looking for to match with this reel. I really want to try it but cant until I fix the reel. Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted November 1, 2020 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2020 For now Im putting my old stradic on the new rod. The stradic is needing a new gear though and sometimes freezes up. Havent used it lately. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted November 2, 2020 Global Moderator Posted November 2, 2020 Finding a schematic sometimes helps. All you can do it look at all the parts, figure what they do, and keep trying. I’ve dropped and lost tons of parts over the years, I’ve even used ink pen components to fix spinning reels. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 You wouldn’t believe the number of “bag-o-parts” orders I receive. It happens, you’re not alone. You can hit me up when you’re ready to take another crack at it. Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted November 2, 2020 Author Super User Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks for the responses. I looked at the schematic yesterday and got it back together with all the parts ( apparently) in the right place. But the bail still wont go up and down, even though I tried several more times. The reel isnt turning smoothly either. I think its about time to give up and get it into a ( real ) reel repair shop... I did get a dink on the new rod and old stradic. Quote
Hulkster Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 ok when i saw 'gone wild' i assumed you did your reel servicing naked..:P 4 Quote
