Super User bilgerat Posted June 22, 2009 Super User Posted June 22, 2009 Do you like the reel that much to put the effort into it ? It may be time to look into another one. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted June 22, 2009 Super User Posted June 22, 2009 Some bail springs are a breeze to put in, while some others can be a bear. If you have a good mechanical aptitude then you could possibly get it done. If you have any doubts then contact OutDoor World Rod & Reel Repair they are the BPS service center.... http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&appID=40&option=2 Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!

fishizzle Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Also some small tackle shops do it in house. Its usually under $10. Sometimes they have to custom make a spring if they can't find the spring from the manufacturer. Quote
