Jmcdole Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Sadly broke my Alphas Sv Tw yesterday, that I ordered from Digitaka. Being that it’s JDM reel, I’m guessing Daiwa USA probably can’t help me? All that it is broken teeth on the drag star, and the spool brake cover and 2 washers. I feel like I could probably fix this myself if I can get the parts. I even found the parts I need on a Daiwa Australia schematic. Anyway I’ve never had to fix a broken reel so I’m just wondering what’s my best way of getting this reel fixed, I love this thing and it’s also my top water reel! Thanks Parts #64, 63, 62 and 102 are all I need Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Any Tatula model parts should interchange with those. 1 Quote
a1712 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 On Hedgehog Studios and several other JDM sites you can order the exact parts you need. Brian. 1 Quote

Tatulatard Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 You can get color ones if you want. You'll need to reuse the shims from the original spool tension knob. Gomexus also has a nice star and knob. You can also just order stock parts from the usdm zillion. I like the gomexus 6 point flat black metal star with a zillion/alphas stock spool tension knob. The flat black of the star matches the flack black trim of the reel perfectly. Quote

Unfortunately I lost the 2 shims/washers behind the spool knob, so I’m guessing just order those from the Zillion? Quote
