In detail: do-it-yourself repair of cobra fishing reels from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
The mechanism of the reels is constantly tested due to the conditions in which they are used. The presence of sand, dust, water can contribute to various types of breakdowns. Improper use, transportation, untimely repairs and maintenance of fishing reels can also cause them to malfunction. Sometimes breakdowns can occur against the background of their device features or quality. Repair of fishing reels in most cases is done by hand.
If the repair of a fishing reel with your own hands is carried out for the first time, then you must strictly follow the sequence of actions and lay out the spare parts in the order of their removal. This condition is necessary for its correct collection after repairs or preventive measures.
Before disassembling, it is necessary to carefully wipe the outer part of the product from contamination with a cotton swab dipped in plain water or using liquid soap. If the dirt is not washed off, you can use more active agents (gasoline or alcohol).
First of all, easily accessible external parts are removed:
- clutch nut, followed by a spool;
- small washers and gears. The main thing is not to mix them in the process of taking them off and put them in the sequence in which they were filmed;
- mechanism handle.
Next, the mechanism itself is analyzed:
- it is necessary to turn the clamping nut and remove it together with the lining;
- the rotor is removed, then the bow and the latching mechanism is disassembled. The line roller must also be disassembled.
The body of the spinning reel is disassembled:

- the lever bolt is unscrewed, which is responsible for switching to reverse, and the toggle switch is removed;
- the plug is removed and the bolt is removed with a screwdriver;
- the wall of the coil is removed. Since this will require effort, to simplify the process, you can take tweezers and pick it up with them.
Analysis of the main mechanism, which includes two gears and a slider. If the reason for parsing is prevention, then it is better not to disassemble the contents, but how to clean the spinning reel and lubricate it with a cotton swab. If the parts are heavily soiled, it is still better to remove them and rinse them well.
Assembling a fishing reel after repair or cleaning is carried out in the reverse order in which the parts are folded. But at the same time, you need to check the correct installation of each part.
Depending on the quality and type of the coil, as well as its design features, breakdowns periodically occur that can be eliminated at home. How to repair a spinning reel and what problems there are, we will consider in more detail.
An important element of the reel is the handle folding system. The simplest mechanism consists of a handle and a hexagon that holds it, and a fastening screw is screwed into it from the back. The handle with a push-button folding mechanism is more convenient. These handles are more durable and break less often.
The most common problem with spinning rods is their loss. Handles are lost due to improper transportation, careless use of the spinning rod. Sometimes the main mistake of fishermen is screwing in a plastic part, thereby the device loses a lock nut.
- it is necessary to insert a new handle, screwing it onto the iron pin, and fix it with a screw;
- to prevent loss of the handle, it is recommended to purchase models with additional fasteners, in the form of washers or bushings.
Do-it-yourself repair of the line guide for spinning reels.Dirt or improper throwing techniques can cause this part to malfunction. If there is a problem with the line guide, more serious damage can occur, such as rod breakage or poor throw accuracy.
- all fasteners must be carefully inspected and, if necessary, tightened. In most cases, this is sufficient;
- if the result remains the same, it is necessary to look for the cause in the tension spring. To find and repair it, you need to remove the coil cover and, having found it, carefully replace it or insert it into place, if it pops out;
- in order to prevent it from popping out in the future and to extend its service life, it is recommended to put a rubber gasket under it. Such a spacer will also add elasticity to the spring;
- repair of the fishing reel line can be done right on the spot, in the process of fishing, and instead of a spring, you can use a homemade pin.
Line breaks are one of the most common reel breakages.
- breaks are mainly due to the locking nut, which is 2 mm larger than the spool in most reel designs. When casting the line, it, clinging, falls under the nut, where it breaks. But it is worth noting that only the braided line breaks, monofilament is not prone to breakage;
- the next reason may be premature closure of the line holder bow;
- when using inertial reels, line breakage occurs due to wear and seizure of bearings during line unwinding.
- if the bearings are jammed, they should be replaced with new ones, and the coil must be disassembled;
- in case of premature closure of the bow, it is necessary to replace the retainer and its case, if they are commercially available for this brand;
- if the problem is a protruding locking nut, replace the felt pad with a thinner one such as plastic. This will allow the washer to move down a bit and align with the edge of the spool.
Important! In order to prevent breaks, it is also necessary to monitor the line itself, and if nodules appear, they need to be eliminated.
In case of reel malfunctions, the line is fed in a spiral.
The main reason for wave feeding of the line is contamination. If dirt gets into the bearing, it clogs up, stops functioning normally and does not feed the line correctly.
Repair of reels for spinning in this case consists in disassembling and cleaning it. If cleaning is not successful, it is recommended to disassemble the coil down to the bearings, remove the old grease from them and apply a new one.
Noise inside the coil means a broken bearing or one of its parts. Ordinary dirt on the mechanism can also cause noise. It is necessary to immediately stop operating it and repair the spinning reel with your own hands, for this you need:
- disassemble the coil according to the technology described above;
- if dirt is found, clean it;
- carefully inspect all parts for their integrity and replace them in case of breakdown;
- reassemble the coil.
It happens that there is an uneven winding of the fishing line on the spool, it occurs along an oblique line, thereby forming a cone. On the main axis there are washers with different thicknesses. If the line is wound taper down, you need to remove one washer. And, accordingly, when the cone is directed upwards, the washer is added.
It is necessary to lay out the spare parts in the order of their removal.
To prevent damage to the coils, it is recommended to take timely preventive measures that will save you from repairs and spending additional funds on the purchase of spare parts.
The first step to long-term use of a product is to treat it with care. What is needed for this:
- spinning should not be dropped or thrown anywhere;
- often move the reel from one rod to another;
- the coil cannot be wetted, and if this happens, it must be dried and preferably lubricated;
- during transportation, the fishing rod should not lie among the tools that can damage the reel when shaking the machine. There must be a special shockproof cover for the fishing rod;
- after the trip, it is necessary to check all the fastening bolts, which, during the shaking process, could unwind or fly off;
- do not store fishing rods in the sun, as ultraviolet light has a destructive effect on the lubrication of the device;
- it is necessary to constantly maintain the level of lubricant on the bearings, since in the event of a breakdown, repairs will cost more;
- after the end of the fishing season, if you cannot make repairs and maintenance with your own efforts, it is recommended to contact the service center. This is especially true of expensive models, such as, for example, the Ambassador 5600 fishing reel, which is not so easy to repair with your own hands.
Important! Do not throw away the instruction manual for the reel that came with the purchase of the product. It tells you how to care for a particular model.
The next step is timely care. What is needed for this:
- every fisherman in his arsenal of fishing accessories must have such means and tools: a screwdriver, cotton wool, tweezers, alcohol, lubricant, liquid soap;
- every six months, regardless of the number of days the coil is used, it is necessary to clean and lubricate the entire mechanism;
- when lubricating the mechanism, it is imperative to remove the remnants of the old grease, which will begin to coke over time if it is not removed in time. The hardened residues of grease affect the operation of the coil and have a destructive effect on aluminum, from which most of the product is made;
- if the coil has a one-piece construction, it is better to use a lubricant with a silicone base or spray (also based on it). This is necessary in order to protect the mechanism from getting wet and lubricate the most inaccessible places, it is silicone grease that allows you to do this.
Having considered how to fix a spinning reel, you understand that any problem can be solved. The main thing is to follow the sequence when disassembling the coil, carefully unfolding its elements and the availability of spare parts. But if you take preventive measures in time, which consists in cleaning and lubricating the coil parts, you can prevent its breakage altogether. Care and care of the product will extend its service life for a long time.
Greetings, dear anglers. Today we will talk about the disassembly of the cobra CB 640 coil. Any tackle needs to be monitored and looked after, and this concerns the coils in the first place, because an unlubricated coil will make unnecessary noise, scare fish away, and eventually break.
Of course, the model in question is budgetary, and someone will think why something should be repaired and disassembled, when you can buy a new one, but agree that it is much better to spend this money on various little things.
So, let's figure out why you need to disassemble the coil. Firstly, it is elementary maintenance, lubrication, adjustment, broaching, etc. Secondly, repair or replacement of any parts.
Let's start with the simplest thing, disassembling the friction brake. The clutch is disassembled to remove dirt and rinse the discs. Finding out that it is time to clean the clutch is quite simple, just twist the spool. If the spool is jerky, then it's time to clean. For all the work we need: a flat screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and small pliers.
First, unscrew the bolt at the end of the coil:
Unscrew and remove the adjusting knob:
We pry the spring that fixes the gear and, in combination, crackles when we adjust the clutch:
After that, we take out the gear and the pressure spring:
The brake disc itself is pulled out rather tightly, so you need to lightly tap the end of the coil so that it falls out:
After flushing or replacing parts of the friction brake, everything is reassembled in the reverse order, I think it will not be a problem even for the younger generation of anglers.
This assembly is the most important in the spool and requires constant lubrication as this is where most of the moisture gets in. In this article, we will not consider removing the entire bracket and removing the roller, since the roller can be lubricated without disassembling with ordinary silicone grease and then wipe the working surface with a napkin, and the entire bracket is removed quite rarely.
Unscrew the bolt of the mechanism cover:
There should be a spring here, but I do not have it, since it broke. Whatever happens to you, lubricate this unit regularly. Weakening or breakage of the spring will result in incomplete closing of the bracket, the line will not slide onto the roller, and as a result, it will twist.
Next, unscrew the bolt of the bracket holder itself, and remove the bracket to the side:
From here we can remove the spring (which I do not have) to stretch it a little and a small wire that serves to snap the bracket, if you suddenly forgot to close it and began to rotate the coil handle:
By the way: I do not advise using this mechanism, it is better to close the bracket with your own hands, since this mechanism greatly damages the parts of the coil and reduces its service life.
Now we turn to the most difficult step in comparison with the previous ones, disassembling the mechanism for rotating the reel and controlling the spool stroke. I think to remove the spool and unscrew the handle, you will get it without a detailed description.
Disassembly of this mechanism is carried out to lubricate parts or replace any parts, if any.
I'll make a reservation right away, see this pin?
There is no need to try to pull it out, you don’t need it, it is pressed in, and having pulled it out once, it will constantly rattle and fall out at the most inopportune moment.
We unscrew the cover of the mechanism. It rests on three screws, after unscrewing them, pry off the cover with a flat screwdriver and remove it:
Now lift up the main gear, and tilt it slightly down the spool:
Now we unscrew this screw:
By the way, in this photo you can clearly see where to lubricate the coil mechanisms.
We pry on this part and remove it from the shaft:
Now you can pull out the shaft, just take it by the part where the spool was and pull it out:
Now you can get the part that is responsible for the movement of the spool:
Now you can start removing the rotating part of the coil. Please note that the nut has a left-hand thread, that is, it is unscrewed clockwise and screwed against:
By unscrewing the nut, the rotating part can be easily removed, and we will see the backstop mechanism, under which the bearing is located, fixed with 2 screws, by unscrewing which we can remove the worm gear and the bearing itself:
I do not recommend touching these two screws without special need, since they bear the main load.
The whole thing is going in the reverse order, but do not forget that this coil is budgetary, and all the screws are twisted into plastic, so try to screw them along the thread.
Similar coil models are dealt with in the same way, I hope the article was useful to you.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments. No tail for you, no scales.
Most of the problems that arise during the operation of the reel and interfere with comfortable fishing, while enjoying fishing, can be quite easily fix it yourself.
Another way out is to trust the professionals by contacting a special workshop. Both the first and second options will allow you to avoid spending on the purchase of a new reel, continuing to fish with the old, familiar and favorite model.
Let's consider how to disassemble a spinning reel, how to assemble, repair spinning reels with our own hands, and also analyze the basic rules for caring for these rather complex devices.
And if you are also interested in finding out the device of the inertial coils or the choice of the baitcasting reel, then read our articles!
Spinning reel selection important point for successful fishing it becomes a pity if the reel quickly becomes unusable, but do not give up, because in most cases it can be repaired.
Before starting to disassemble the coil, it is better to wipe it with cotton wool soaked in water to clear it of dirt, sand and fish mucus.
When disassembling the coil mechanism, all the details of the mechanisms are worth lay out in order right to left or left to right. This will allow you to assemble the spinning reel without unnecessary problems.
The coil is disassembled in this order:
- first of all it is necessary remove the nut friction brake and spool;
- then washers and gearslocated under the spool;
- the next step is unscrew the handle;
- then disassemble the coil mechanism itself: unscrew the clamping nut with pliers or a wrench, remove the rotor;
- then remove the shackle of the line and the mechanism that latches it, to disassemble the roller through which the fishing line passes;
- unscrew the stopper bolt reverse stroke and remove the switch, unscrew the plug bolt and remove it;
- remove the coil wall (as a rule, this requires quite a lot of effort);
- removing the wall, you will see a slider and two gears - this is the main mechanism of the coilif everything is in order with them, you should not take them off.
As for the assembly of the coil, it is carried out in the reverse order.
Internal noise can be caused by dirt entering the mechanism or broken bearings or other parts. If there is noise, the use of a freewheel is necessary stop immediatelyso as not to make the problem worse. The coil should be disassembled and, depending on the specific cause of the problem, either cleaned or replaced with new parts.
If, during the reeling of the line, there is a rumble and knock, the mechanism periodically jams, and under load (while playing) the reel wedges, this means that there is serious problems in the final drive mechanism. In this case, the drive and driven gear must be replaced with a new pair.
If the bow of the line guide spontaneously switches from the “cast” position to the “rewind” position, this can lead to various problems - from shooting the bait to rod breakage.
To fix the problem, you first need to tighten the boltswith which the bow is attached. In the event that this was not enough, remove the cover, under which the spring is located, and add elasticity to herby installing a gasket on the rod, or change the spring to a more rigid one.
When this problem occurs, the spool handle can rotate freely both forward and backward even when the backstop is engaged. In modern models, the stopper is made on the basis of an overrunning clutch, and the cause of the problem is dirt and grease thickening. The coupling must be disassembled and lubricated with liquid oil. It should be noted that overrunning clutch repair is a rather complicated procedure, which is better to be entrusted to professionals.
The appearance of dents, scratches and other defects on the side of the spool leads to a decrease in the casting distance. In addition, the line is significantly injured by the unevenness of the spool, and its service life is significantly reduced. How to fix it? When such defects appear, they must be grind thoroughly, and polish the surface of the bobbin collar. At the same time, it is necessary to try not to remove the hard-alloy metal deposition from the side, which is present on good modern reels.
On reels with a front friction brake, the clutch retaining nut is located 1-2 mm above the spool edge... As a result, the line clings to it and falls under the edge, gets tangled and torn. To fix the problem, you should disassemble the mechanism: Remove the retaining nut and clutch washers, then replace the felt spacer with a thin plastic one.This will align the locking nut with the edge of the spool.
If a creak appears, it means that the coil is need to lubricate... At the same time, it can be difficult to determine which specific parts creak, so the best option when this problem appears is to disassemble, clean and lubricate the entire coil. With a certain skill, this will not be a problem and will not take much time.
If the line comes off in a tight spiral during casting, the reason is dirt ingress into the roller mechanism of the line laying machine. The bearing located there rubs, and the line twists. Accordingly, in order to eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary disassemble, clean and lubricate the roller.
If the line winds on the spool unevenly, resulting in a front or rear taper, it is not necessarily a disadvantage... However, you should know that the situation can be easily corrected in the right direction. There are several washers of different thicknesses on the main shaft of the reel. To eliminate line winding taper down, one washer should be removed, and if cone pointing up, the washer must be added.
Self-tightening of the friction clutch when blowing off the line - serious malfunction, which may be present on the reels of not the highest quality. It leads to a line break when playing fish and, in a more severe case, to breakage of the coil itself.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to eliminate this defect, the only way out is be careful when fishing.
There are many ways to increase your fish catch, but the most effective units are. Below the editors of the site share with you the 3 most effective ways to increase your catch:
- Bite activator. It is a pheromone-based supplement that activates receptors in fish. ATTENTION! The Fishery Inspectorate wants to ban this bait!
- Any other bait with flavors is less effective, it is better if they contain pheromones. But the most effective way is to use new for 2016 - DYNAMITE EFFECT!
- Learning different fishing techniques. For example, here it is written about spinning wires.
In addition, do not forget that attempts to repair the spinning reel with your own hands can be very difficultMoreover, there is a risk of aggravating the problem.
So, let's take a closer look the advantages of repair by a specialist... Spinning reel repairman:
- can make fast and high-quality repair of spinning reels;
- has a large assortment of spare parts for spools of any class;
- can carry out high-precision adjustment of the main pair;
- uses special lubricating oils.
You can find such a master in any major city.
To prevent breakdowns and malfunctions, first of all, you should carefully transport the coil and handle it with sufficient care in the pond in order to avoid shocks that can lead to a breakdown of the mechanism, try not to dip it into water or put it on the sand.
Cleaning... If sand gets into the mechanism, moving parts such as the pinion and pinion can wear out rather quickly. To avoid this problem, you need to regularly disassemble the coil and clean it from the inside.
Grease... Dry operation of the mechanism is another reason for its rapid wear... Lubrication must be carried out immediately after cleaning the coil from the sand that has got into it. Which oil to use is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.
If this is not possible, you can use any oil that is suitable in consistency, but you need to be sure that it does not contain unnecessary additives and does not destroy plastic parts that are widely used in the production of modern spinning reels.In other words, an oil designed to soften metal-to-metal friction - not the best option.
Careful handling of the coil and regular maintenance will help to avoid serious problems. All malfunctions manifest themselves in one way or another at an early stage, it is on it that these malfunctions are easiest to eliminate. Timely maintenance and repairs will maximize the life of the reel, and it will delight the angler with flawless performance for years to come.

At the end of the video - the elimination of the self-discharge of the line laying machine on the spinning reel. Happy viewing!
Fishing gives pleasure with its process - each of us knows about it. But in addition to this, we always want to get the result from fishing - to catch not three perches, but a dozen kilogram pikes - this will be the catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone knows how.
A good catch can be achieved (and we both know this) thanks to good bait... It can be made at home or bought at fishermen's shops. But in stores it is expensive, and to prepare groundbait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, in all fairness, homemade bait does not always work well.
Do you know that disappointment when you bought groundbait or cooked it at home, but caught three or four perches? Of course familiar. So maybe it's time to use a really working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and by practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?
There is such a bait and it's not a myth - TWITCHING LURE... Yes, yes, it was she. Many people know her, many love her, but only a few know how to use it, which is why there are so many angry reviews about her on the Internet. Someone simply does not know how to read the instructions.
Of course, it's better to try once than hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! A 50% discount when ordering is a great bonus!
Order TWITCHING LURE soon!
Those malfunctions that can arise in fishing reels either completely disable the product, or prevent you from enjoying the fishing process, creating discomfort during operation. In this article, we will analyze the question of how to repair fishing reels of different types - inertial and inertial.
Of course, there is an opportunity to contact specialized workshops for help, or you can try to repair fishing reels with your own hands. This will not only save money, but also experience the joy of doing the work yourself.
Choosing this attribute of fishing, each fisherman carefully thinks over the options and conditions for fishing, and only then acquires a product that is suitable in terms of characteristics. And it becomes a pity if suddenly it becomes unusable. Where to start repairing a spinning reel? The answer is unambiguous - from the disassembly of the product.
To begin with, we will study the phased disassembly of the product, and then we will consider the signs and main causes of breakdowns, which necessitate both the repair of the inertia coils and the repair of the inertial coil with our own hands.
Regardless of whether you have to repair spinning fishing reels or repairing multiplier reels that combine the principle of inertial reels - it is very important to properly prepare and carefully disassemble the product. When disassembling it, lay out each removed element and part in order of priority. This approach afterwards, after you carry out the repair of the spinning reel, will greatly facilitate the assembly procedure.
To clean the product, use cotton wool or a cotton pad previously soaked in warm water. If you need to remove dirt in hard-to-reach areas, use either tweezers or cotton swabs. It is strongly not recommended to use aggressive household cleaners to remove dirt.When repairing reels for spinning, it is better to use gasoline or alcohol for cleaning.
Let's take a look at the disassembly of a spinning reel using the example of a Shimano Catana 2500 FB:
-
To repair a spinning coil with your own hands, you must first disassemble it. And let's start this process by removing the handle.
The next step is to remove the plastic washers and the sprocket under them.
We unscrew the nut by first unscrewing the bolt that holds it.
We unscrew all the mounting bolts and remove the decorative overlay.
To remove the main gear, you must first unscrew the bolt securing the rod. Then you need to pull out the stem, and then remove the gear.
Consider the disassembly using the example of ABU GARCIA REVO POWER CRANK 6-L REEL:
-
We unscrew the lock nut securing the coil handle.
We disassemble the case of the multiplier in order to get the spool. To do this, unscrew the lock nut,
turn the "cheek" of the multiplier and remove it.
We remove the spool from the multiplier body.
To get to the main mechanism of the multiplier, we remove the part from the axis
and gaskets installed underneath.
Remove the axle brake cover.
We unscrew all the fastening bolts that hold the cover that covers the main mechanism and remove it.
We disassemble the main mechanism. The largest gear is the main gear, it contains the clutch pressure discs.
Carefully remove the decorative strip (http://prntscr.com/giaynv) and remove the slider guide.
Remove the worm stopper, unscrew the lid and take out the "tooth", and then remove the "worm".
The product is completely disassembled, rinse it, diagnose the damage and repair the inertial coil.
To carry out competent repair of inertial coils with your own hands, as well as inertial coils, you must first determine the cause of the breakdown, and do it correctly. Of course, after disassembling the product, you can clearly see the part that is out of order. However, the manifestation of certain symptoms of problems will most likely help to identify the failed part before the coil is disassembled.
Types of faults and their manifestation:
- Internal noise. If extraneous sounds appear in the product during use, you should immediately stop using it. It is not necessary that the noise is caused by a damaged part; it can also be caused by dirt trapped in the mechanism. However, if the reason is not in the contamination of the product, then most likely the bearings are out of order. Then, in order to repair the fishing reel, it will be enough to replace the worn out parts.
- Squeak in the reel. Constant creaking inside the body signals only one thing to the fisherman - it's time to disassemble the reel, clean it of old grease and process it with a new one. Determining which part or assembly is the source of the squeak is quite problematic. Therefore, it is better to carry out a complete maintenance of the product.
- The line winds unevenly on the spool. Sometimes the following situation begins to occur - the line is unevenly placed on the spool, forming a front or rear cone. The fix is easy enough. If winding is done with a cone down, then it is necessary to remove one washer from the main shaft of the reel. In case of upward cone formation, the washer must be added.
In order for the product to serve you in the long term, you need to properly and carefully operate it, carry out periodic maintenance and promptly respond to any signs of deviation from normal operation of the coil.
Do not postpone the repair of spinning reels indefinitely - delay will only aggravate the state of affairs and accelerate the destruction of not only damaged parts, but also those that interact with them. This will lead to an increase in the cost of repairs or even failure of the product!
Let's take a look at the video of repairing fishing reels with our own hands with a few tricks:
