carp-starter Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 When you say "local store", I am assuming you mean the Ottawa-Hull area and not Toronto. For this area, I suggest that you can find out from the people on Fish-Hawk fishing forums web site below. Fish-hawk covers the Ottawa-Hull area and they will give you the info. http://www.fish-hawk.net/hawktalk/ Just in case, here is a web address in the Toronto GTA.

jace Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The ceramic replacement pawls are smoother than the stock metal ones...look for them. Mike's reel repair on the west coast sells them through mail and on ebay. sticking on the sides is a sure sign of a worn pawl. If this is a fairly new reel, it might be from not cleaning the reel enough or not enough lube. Dirt gradually gets pushed to the ends of the worm gear where it grinds away at the pawl and that will wear it out on any reel pretty fast.

Sinker Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I usually have one or two of those go each season between a few abu casting reels. I just buy a bunch of them, and replace them as I need them. They're cheap. Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well don't order online from Mike's reel repair on the west coast. Been waiting since Dec 15 for the handle retainer for my 700B that fell apart on the Niagara on the 13th. Can't even get them to return an email...

OhioFisherman Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I usually have one or two of those go each season between a few abu casting reels. I have older Abu reels and have never had one go, one of the easiest spots on a reel to lube. About the same amount of problems with my Abu`s as my Shimano`s, none.

Sinker Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 wehere do you stock up on them? I get the guy at my local tackle shop to get them for me. He can get anything! Kawartha Lakes Bait and Tackle I got $10 worth from him, and its nice little bag full. Takes 2 seconds to change them. The worm gear is the bar that the pawl runs back and forth across. AFter a while, they will wear out too. Keep that part of the reel clean and well oiled. I take it off and run a sfety pin thru the gears.......you'd be surprised how much crap comes outta there.
