Need some advice

[Reelscreamer]

I use Penn Senators and yesterday while SERprise and myself were out the clicker button on one of my 12/0's became extremely difficult to engage and then the clicker stopped working! Does anyone have any advice on this or maybe what happend? I hope I didn't shotgun the clicker because then I will be down a reel and it is almost Wahoo season! Thanks ya'll.

lol down a reel just because the clicker is off?

try this. get your hands on the spool and open the drag back, then try switching the clicker on. Somehow this helps in a old senator of mine.

12/0 is a big boy you can hear the line going out without any noise :P

Take off the entire left side plate and look at it. The clicker actually goes down(engage) and up(disengage) against a ratchet on the spool.

Sometimes the click tongue(part that engages the ratchet on the spool) can come loose from the click button or push down the Clicker Spring (brass c-clip looking part). You may have to insert the click tongue (arrow shaped part) back into Clicker Spring.

Lots of part names here, but once you take it off it is pretty self explanatory.

Go to the fishing reel forum and put this post up.There's a guy named AlanTani there who puts up detailed fix it yourself instructions.I'm sure he can help you out.

Just take it apart and look at it. Youd be surprised how simple it is in there.
