Title: Baitcaster trouble fix problem
Post by: BigFisher on March 08, 2013, 06:19:37 AM

I have a 5 year old Diawa luna 300. The other night the clylinder housing that the worm gear sits in came unattached/loose. Does anyone know if it is just something that needs to be tightened, or did that whole piece break off?

Hmm I think sterling broke it time for a pin.

Edit: screw the pin Robby light!

Sounds like the side cover screws came loose.

Sounds like it caught too many fish.

Weird....never had issues with the worm gears in any of my pins! Oh wait, that's because there's not many moving parts that could fail...haha! ;D ;)
