Loose bail on spinning reel?
I recently dug out an older spinning setup out of my boat but I noticed the bail has a lot of play in it. The reel itself is in very good condition, I purchased it about 5 years ago and never used it a whole lot. But anyways, for the life of me I can't figure out if or how I can tighten up the bail so there's no play in it. There's no screws but instead 2 pins with with u shaped clamps holding each side together. How would I go about adjusting to tighten the bail up a bit?
It sounds like a very thin spring steel washer that is purposely bent in its center is missing. Finding a replacement would be next to impossible unless you can get access to a similar reel or someone in the business of reel repairs.
