How to fix this..

[flappy]

I mentioned a few months ago that my reel seat has come apart.. I can’t move the top bit.. so how does this work..?

 

[Phis]

Put some light oil inside the black part and see if it will loosen off it should slide try turning it anti clockwise if you get it loose job done next time slide it over the reel foot and hold in place with the knurled screw collar don't overtighten it again

 

[Mr Fish]

WD40 or oil and keep fettling until it works

@flappy
Mr Sheen or whatever fkin pressurised polish you get up there.

Spray all over and then screw it back, holding the rest in your other hand.

Done it with one of mine.

drench in lighter fuel and put next to barbecue....

It’s really tight.

Whack it with a hammer and then go out and buy a decent rod.

As Tony said, give A, B, & C a good soak in WD40 or similar. Then give it a couple more good sprays & leave it for a while.
Make sure A (the locking ring) is free & clean the threads. Wind A down as far away from the reel foot as you can.
Give B a GENTLE tap in the direction of the arrow with a block of wood or something that isn't going to damage it. The collar B that slides over the reel foot tends to twist a little, so it needs to be straightend up. Tap or move it down to A. If it won't move, more WD40 and let it soak.
Reel should now pull out from C.
Give everything a GOOD clean (including removal of the Fish scales!) and apply some Silicone spray or similar before re-attaching the reel to the rod. Don't overtighten A.

Best to get another new one, so you can try again.

Aye, was just going to ask what size he used!

 

[Beach]

What ever happened to using a hammer and a block of wood?

 

[Phis]

I would try an axe next, chop it into small bits and stick it on your log burner

He wouldn't be carbon neutral then

More WD40 or similar required, and let it soak!
