I just had Larry from Cast Away Lakes replace the part that pushed the button back out after you crank the handle on all 3 of my C4's and he did a great job and he really knows his gear.
I plan to have him do some upgrades to them sooner or later.
I highly recommend him !
Thanks Larry

Hey Randy, I have the old c4 as well. It is about 5 years old. I have never had any work done on it. I do take great care of my gear. How much did this cost and when did you notice that is was needed?

That should fix your problem. I see alot of Abu Garcia reels that this happens to along with the line pawl going out of them. It is cheaper than buying new ones.

Hey Randy, How much did this cost and when did you notice that is was needed? After a cast when you crank the handle to get the button to pop back out and it doesn't do it consistently. Get with Larry for pricing, He'll take care of you. |

When mine does that all i have to do is take it all apart and clean it real good. I do this about three times a year. Makes the real feel new again.

I keep all my fishing gear very clean and I was standing there when Larry opened all 3 of them and they were clean inside........
Sounds like you may have to cross this bridge in the future Greg.
