Shimano 5000 re baitrunner parts

[Chris Allcock]

Morning all, I was oiling my baitrunners and I noticed that the rear drag knob on one of them was a bit stiff so I took out the screw and released the knob and the threaded grey plastic part is broken, can anyone shed any light on this part, and if it's still available to purchase, the only problem is they dont make these reels anymore.

Cheers chris.

Ok it's broken, but look at the quality that goes into those Shimmy's, compared with modern tat.

If Felindre can't help (several bits off the old reels are now unavailable) you could check with @Clive Shipman. Otherwise I'd look on eBay for a 'For parts only' similar reel. You make get a whole reel for a fiver.

Cheers all.
