Title: fenwick fly reel
Post by: Britguy on April 20, 2009, 08:54:06 PM

OK this might seem like a daft question to some of you but here goes
How do i change the cartridge on my Fenwick fly reel ???
It looks like it would just pull off but i dont want to force it :-\
Yes i know i could go to the store where i bought it but i thought i would ask here first

on the side where the handle is in the center of the reel you should see a small button,push the button and the two pieces of the reel should separate to expose the cartridge,the cartridge should  just  slide off of the center post .hope this helps. :)

Thanks searun17 i managed to get it off
i  gave it a hard pull
but first off i had to change the reel from right hand to left hand wind
This also ment taking off all the line and backing on booth spools
Man i think there was 1000yds of backing on there
Now sorted and ready for action
