Is it not possible to get a washer of the same dimensions, but a different material to do the same job:confused: Just a suggestion :)

P.S. I am no engineer

Yep I will have to have a look as any alternative, the washer is just a stop that the spool sits on, the reel itself seems well, or over engineered, but the Chinese do seem to source cheap peripherals that let down reliability. The spool mechanics are robust, and are designed to fish for Tarpon and the like.

If I can help, let me know, Tewkesbury , Lower Lode might be doable. All level ground, fish on a lawn, Carp and the chance of a big Barbel.

Neil when you say washer , Do you mean a sleeve ? I have had a look at my reels and cant see no washer . All there is a nylon sleeve with a slot that fits on the spindle and the slot fits in a pin that is on the spindle . Assuming your reel are the same as mine and you are no longer going to use it ? Would you be interested in selling the spool ? I would be happy to give you a fair price for it .

It is a sleeve Joe, and that for whatever reason gave up, and jammed the spool. The replacement I may have fitted incorrectly, so I will have it checked out by Penn. As far as .I remember a replacement spool is c.£18 from Penn, which is cheaper than the listed price, I will ask when I ring him and get back to you.
I would sell the reel perhaps, once I get it fixed.
