Lead Head Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I'm trying to get this reel up and running for a buddy. I definitely need a pawl (possibly a worm gear), the flat washer that goes above the curved washers (spring washers?), and all 3 frame screws. Specifically the frame screw that goes behind the spool. I don't have a schematic and can't find one anywhere online. I have tried calling outdoor world reel repair but 5 attempts have only gotten me to a voice mail with no return call. I know this reel has a lot of parts that are interchangeable with reels I might actually be able to find a schematic for and order parts. Can any of you guys help me out? Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 27, 2021 Super User Posted September 27, 2021 Just a thought..... you are looking at about $40 in parts with shipping for $100 or less reel. You will also need the main gear if you are getting the worm gear. I wouldn't waste the time and money. Also, when I have called for guys whom I have worked on BPS reels for (only a few), the parts are very hit and miss. Bearings and drag washers use be had but after that I haven't had much luck. My usual advice is wait till spring and get a new one during their sale. Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted September 27, 2021 Super User Posted September 27, 2021 even if Lew's parts swap in, you can't buy parts from Lew's currently - they've suspended parts sales, and only accept reels for repair. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 27, 2021 Super User Posted September 27, 2021 Another thought would be to buy a used reel from ebay and use it for parts. Quote
K1500 Posted September 28, 2021 Posted September 28, 2021 If it’s like the three Pro Qualifier 2’s I had, you would be time, money, and bonus friend points ahead to replace the reel with something else. Sell the reel for parts on eBay. Quote
Lead Head Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 I'm not seeing how I would need to replace the main gear for a worm gear swap. Maybe I'm calling the part the wrong name. Its the gear that the pawl rides on. Either way I'm pretty sure its good I was just looking into replacing it because the pawl was so bad. I was able to salvage 2 frame screws (actually side plate screws) and the washer from a junk reel. All I really need is the pawl, but I would really like to have the screw that goes behind the spool. If anyone knows where I could find a pawl that will fit it would be greatly appreciated. All the advice to sell/replace/scrap the reel is appreciated, but I understand what I'm working with here and that is not what I'm trying to do. Quote

I was probably thinking pinion and main gear which was what was wrong with the few I have worked on. Getting old these days. The ones I had seen had been stripped from having been used in heavy cover with braid, among other issues. I will stick with my advice on replacing the reel. Good luck. Quote
Lead Head Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 Lol, its all good. Really had me scratching my head though. All input is appreciated. 2 Quote
