nolesfishing Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I need help fixing a reel i have. It is a shimano calcutta TE 250 DC. I've never seen it online before and I bought it used off of somebody. I noticed that whenever I am reeling, and I lean the reel to the right, the spool keeps spinning even when I stop turning the handle. Whenever this happens and I notice it, I lean the reel back over to the left side, and it makes this weird sound. It,s almost like running your finger through a comb but metal on metal. I think it has something to do with the main gear or the one next to it coming loose, but idk how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-20 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Send it to Shimano. $38 and they will make it feel like it’s new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hole where your spool fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BensBaits Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 If that doesn’t work Gully’s Reel repair on instagram is the guy I went to when my shimano Antares was acting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I would take that one out of commission until you figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His customer service recently has been poor to say the least. Many people have had issues with him lately manansalsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
