I was told by them I sould toss them out and buy new ones. this pissed me off to no end. After searching the country for parts I indeed did toss them out. However, I did not and will never again buy any Shimano products. I went with Daiwa reels. I could not be happier. Just something to think about
Interesting, thanks for that info! Any particular Daiwa you went with in place of the Shimanos?
