Hey. This thing is rather on the cheap side. I found a parts dealer who'll have the screws in a couple weeks, but I know from all my repair experience w/computers it's best to keep on looking till you find that part.
I need the 2 "thumb" screws for the handle side. I call them thumb screws. I don't know maybe officially they are called brakes but on the drum style baitcasters I don't think there are brakes. Anyway it's the 2 screws that aren't "normal" hardware store screws.
Zebco (going by the alias Rhino here lol if I knew Rhino was Zebco I wouldn't have bought it)discontinued this reel already. Looks like the 3 they sell replacement parts for aren't even this style baitcaster (and I did call too and the lady checked really carefully along with their parts HSOforum). And keep in mind, it's a super big piece of junk, so if you have similar thumb screws for any baitcaster like this, it'll maybe work fine.
Parts guys call me, and admins sorry I hope there isn't a rule against leaving my phone # here: 612-306-6281 or e-mail: [email protected]
Thanks in advance for saving me from having a broken $60 combo because I am not ready for some Shimano or Abu Garcia super model yet. I can't even keep my reel together for God's sake!

edit: by the way I'm going to TRY to take it back to Fleet Farm first but still give me a call or e-mail. Either way it goes to my cell phone. Thanks.
