Title: Fishing Reel - oops!
Post by: xd2005 on June 17, 2013, 08:41:30 PM: So we took my wife's new Eagle Claw reel fishing this past weekend and it started giving us problems (seemed to "lock up" at one point, then was making an unusual sound). Anyway, tonight I thought I'd take it apart to see if I could see anything.

Unfortunately, a couple pieces fell out and I have no clue where or how they go back in. :bash: :-[

Below is a picture of the parts (sorry it's so blurry!). Any guidance on where they go would be much appreciated :)

I do notice it doesn't make the signature "clicking" sound when pulling out the drag anymore...
