loose reel in seat


fishcast

Recommended Posts

I have a gray curado 300 dsv on a 7'6" fenwick hmx flipping stick. like it, except the reel sits in there loose even with its cranked in hard. actually had it pop off twice on me. I feel its loose when hitting fish hard in the slop, but thats pretty much what I use it for.

anybody have similiar problems before or suggestions about what to do?

I have heard of it before, but never really had it happen. Some fit snugger than others. I would get some sort of a shim in there, be it on the bottom of the reel seat or the ends, or both if needed...

Curado 300 is a good sized reel, suprised you are having that problem. If you want it fixed right, I would recommend bringing it to Thorne Bros or any other rod builder - they should be able to help you figure out a good solution.
