Super User T-rig Posted December 31, 2010 Super User Posted December 31, 2010 Hello guys! I will be buying a Shimano Cruxis 201LH as a spare reel (I can get it cheap). I really don't like the plastic cast control cap. Does anyone know if the cap of a Curado 201D would fit and where I can get one? I already have another handle nut cover which I also will be changing. What about a drag star? What would fit und where can I buy it? Maybe someone has some of these parts for sale? Thanks! Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 31, 2010 Super User Posted December 31, 2010 You can expect the parts to be compatible ( cast control cap and drag star ), usually when a company makes a reel they use the same tooling and same specs for an entire family of reels which are basically the same but with more bells and whistles as you progress in upgrades. Certain bet for finding the part ? call Shimano. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted January 1, 2011 Author Super User Posted January 1, 2011 Thank you Raul! It's very difficult to get parts from Shimano for Baitcasters here in Europe. Is there a US online shop where I can get the parts? Quote
OnthePotomac Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Go on to the Shimano web page and click on Customer Service. There you can submit your question on parts exchange and you will receive a prompt answer from one of the techs. I use them frequently and they are very good. I do not have the Shimano telephone number on hand in California, but you can order anything with the part number, and you can ask for the number when you email Shimano. Quote

The Rooster Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Perhaps Abu parts would be easier to get. Yeah.....but see, they won't fit a Shimano. Oh, wait.......surely you are not suggesting he switch to Abu from Shimano!!!!!!! Ha ha, just kiddin'. ;D 8-) Quote
