Spelling may be off on the subject line.

I have one of these reels apart right now, the anti-reverse was not working.
This is a pretty old real, is it worth repairing ?

If this is the OG pearl one, yes. Great reel, especially the one with the whiffle spool.

Definitely, that bearing isn't that much. Some consider it a collectible if it's cosmetically nice.

Its not pretty...not anymore anyway
I have fished from a WaterMoccason Pirogue for years and its kinda cramped in there, I am 6'2".
It has some battle scars, but I would like to get it fixed, none the less

Is is a SF?

What are the numbers, I can get you a price on the bearing.

3J stamped on the bottom, where do I find the number you are referring to ?

I just need to know if it's a 200 SF or not and this should be on the side of the reel under the handle in fairly large lettering.

I guess it isn't

Bantam
Chronarch

That works...

WyattEarp · August 23, 2019, 03:15:16 PM

Well again, I took it apart, so its currently in ICU.

Is there an A or B?

If there is no A or B... When you take the palm side plate off of an A it stays connected at the front. The B stays connected at the back

Being it's older it should be an A. Shoot me a PM...
