400D baitrunner quiet

Just acquired a used 400D and I’ve noticed the baitrunner clicker is much quieter than my other 400D which is nearly new , as I use this as my “alarm “ when distracted is there way to get it to make more noise ? The reel is in good shape and obviously been looked after and no other issues .

thanks

Yeah there’s a clicker in the back.
It’s either slightly bent and not engaging as positive or covered in grease potentially dulling out the sound.
The return spring may not be functioning properly

You’ll find it here

is it just a case of taking the 3 screws out to get to it ?

No there’s a bit more too it.

I’d suggest you don’t do it unless you’ve a good understanding of them.
if the main gear comes off with the outer case as you remove it you need to be aware that it only goes back in exactly the same way as it came out to the tooth.

I can send you some info later on so you can do it yourself. It’s not difficult, it can just catch you out if the gears teeth are allowed come out as they need to go back exactly how they come out or the reel locks up.
The rotor needs to come off first or you won’t get the side panel off.
 
I’ve watched a YouTube video a few times , and if I can find a reel servicing fella I’ll go with that , I’m bound to make things worse lol

Right….. get em both to me! I’ll sort em right out.

I charge £15 for 1 or £13 for 2 or more plus return postage on top which I advise we use special delivery but that’s up to you.
 
I’m in Sweden this week so please if your sending anything try and get it to land at my address for Monday/Tuesday next week or after. But let me know 👍🏻

Up to you but Even though it’s new it won’t be right
They just chuck a smidge of grease in and send em out in boxes.
Your choice but if they were mine I’d want them the same.

Even if you just want one only doing I would ask you send both anyway. So I can hear and see the difference with the clickers

Regarding payment I don’t take anything until the job is done with reel service work.

Sometimes (but rarely) they don’t need a service they need a repair and I don’t stock parts for that so in some cases I can’t sort the reel and there for won’t take the money.
I’m sure that’s not the case here but I’ll contact you when it’s all done.

What’s that river behind you in the picture Kevin. Looks awfully familiar
