Next, I tried doing the repair myself but wasn't having much luck as I needed tools and seemingly a 3rd hand? lol, that I didn't have with me at the moment. We were leaving for a camping trip, I needed my reel, but other things needed my attention so I brought it to my local bait n tackle (Mom n Pop store, been there forever, love em) Conroy's Bait and Tackle in Watervliet NY (plug intended lol) He took it, said, "yeah let me tinker with it". I left and he called me back around 2 hours later saying it was fixed! (wow, soo fast). Picked it up the next day, worked perfectly! I thanked him profusely, told the older man how awesome he was and asked how much it cost. He said, "ehh give me 3 dollars"...I said, here's 20, and TY my friend!
Thanks soo much to all you guys, that exact part made my weekend!!
