HugoBox Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Not sure how, but some of the threads on the nut that holds the handle on one of my 7000's stripped. Originally I thought i bent the handle but figured out I got a bad nut... I may try to find a fine thread one at a hardware store, but if I can't do any of you know who sells those parts. Not the best time of the year to send a reel off for service.thanks - erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorgy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Try the Bass Specialty shop on HWY 65 in Fridley. I understand they do reel repair nowdays. I ordered parts from Mikes reel repair in Canada and it took like 3 weeks to get them. I won't be ordering again from Canada.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I googled and found this http://www.castawaylakes.com/AbuGarciaParts.htmlI may find some levelwind parts there for mine! Just a word of caution. I ordered a rod from them a few years ago, and it took a long time and several phone calls to finally get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel9921 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Erik... just go to Abu Garcia HSOforum, get the address... then on the box, write down this "Abu Garcia Attn: Reel Service Dept" along with the rest of the address and ship it... make sure you add a note explaining whats wrong with your reel... and if its under warranty, they'll repair it or, more likely, replace itWith insurance and confirmation, amount comes to about $8.50 maybe less... and the turn-around time is quick...I blew out two of my 7000iC3 in August and both got replaced within a week after them receiving it... and one of those replaced blew out again... I shipped it back last Thursday and they got it on Monday... so the new one should be back before I head to Mille Lacs on Oct 14th...Hope this helps...

HugoBox Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm sure its not secret, but thumbs up to ABU for taking care of me quickly. Once I got off my arse and called them they put the parts in the mail and the reel is as good as new. Now I just gotta find an ice fishing shack that will hold me and a 9ft HVY action rod...
