Big Jon Sportsman - Counter Spring Replacement

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone knows how to put on a new counter spring on a Big Jon Sportsman downrigger. Mine snapped recently and I ordered a new one and want to put it on myself. I know I have too take off the reel assembly but there is a metal pin that is stopping it from coming off. Anyone know how the right way to put a new counter spring on?

 

Thanks in advance!

The metal pin just slides out, might be a few years since some one took that pin out so it might need a gentle tap or two, after the pin is out just slide the spool off, install new spring, make sure the spring does not get caught in between the spool and rigger body and the pin is back in the clutch groove when you put everything back togather.
