Abu Garcia Cardinal 101 Anti-Reverse Help

[fly_freebird90]

Sorry for posting this here, but I don't see a maintenance section. I have an Abu Garcia Cardinal 101 spinning reel that I use for panfish. After oiling it tonight, I realized my ant-reverse wasn't working. I did exploratory surgery and noticed that the spring that controls it had slipped off. I have put it back on where I think it should go, still not working. Does anyone know a solution? I have looked at schematics and cannot tell exactly where it should go. I greatly appreciate any help. I will post pictures tomorrow if necessary.

Thanks,
Ross

I had a reel do the same thing. i took it apart and dropped/lost the spring. so i took a piece of fishing line and tied the one way ball bearing over to the side where the spring went. works fine now, maybe better than before...KP

I did something similar to skinny with the fishing line. Besides that, I just never turn the anti-reverse off. Always leave it on.

Throw it away and get a shimano.I dont buy ABU reel's anymore because of all the problem's I've had.
