Line jammed under reel handle.

[zbigbadaaron]

On my pflueger trion I have line jammed under my reel handle. So i can't use drag. Or reel in smoothly. How can I get the line out from under it?

Remove the handle.

Remove the handle.

Raul, you are so bad!  ;D

Raul! Man, you are simply nasty.

Ok, here's what you do. Get a hammer and a small chisel and.........

:) :D :D :D

Seriously, you can't unwind the line from around the drag? How much line do you think is wrapped around it? You should be able to pull the line free with a little work.

Remove the handle.

that's truly the easiest answer

I would think you could unwind it, but maybe, if it's jammed enough, then that's the answer.  :-?

Raul is right. Remove the handle and look for the line wrapped under the drag star, around the crank shaft, inside the crank support bearing, and the one-way AR bearing.

Make sure you have the reels schematic in front of you so you will know what and how it is all re-stacked when your done....

Better yet send it off to one of the pflueger factory satellite service centers.

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!

Sorry for the pretty short reply, I was in a hurry  :-/. But RM already replied what has to be done, the line must be trapped somewhere in all those parts.
