Where could I find...

[kemper]

Hey all, does anyone happen to have, or possibly know of a place where I can get a clutch bearing for a Shimano Bantam Chromica baitcast reel...I think its like a 2001-2002. I love the reel, its served me very well and Im not ready to give up on it just yet. The clutch bearing is blown (or I thought it was, took the reel apart and pulled the bearing out, soaked it in degreaser and tossed it back in and it is working...for now.) and I would like to get it replaced before my trip next month. I can do all the work, I just need somewhere that has the part because I dont think that my red green repair is going to last a week of hard fishing.

 

Should I just call Shimano direct or will they cost me arm and leg?

An arm and a leg is worth it for love. check out this other thread for repair guys: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17073
