Broken Bail--fixable

[Crawlerman]

I have a rather nice Quantum spinning reel with the balanced handle, Aluminum spool, rear drag, ball bearing drive the whole works.

Anyways.. Last year something happend to the bail. the one end that attaches to the roller side of the mechanism keeps falling out. I tried tightening the screw-- which made it fall out less but made the roller not move either-- which could potentially be a bad thing. Next I tried a dab of superglue. It just flaked off after a few casts and I had the same problem. Is this a fixable problem-- or do I have to buy a new reel?

why not just contact quantum and order a new bail?

If you know what the broken parts is called (find an exploded view of the reel) you can give Angler's Paradise a call up in Anoka. They have everything you'd want to fix your reel.
