broken diawa emblem 3500
Message:
The spool on my D3500 stopped moving up and down - the main shaft is reel loose - I can pull it up and down without resistance. I took apart the reel down to the anti-reverse mechanism but got intimidated and stopped. Now I can't remember how to the anti reverse mechanism goes back together. It was pretty late and I wasn't paying attention as close as I should have. I am gonna give another go when I get time. This real cost me 80$ and I literally have less than 15 hours. I am pretty disappointed that it already crapped the bed. I have much cheaper reels with way more hours that still work like they are new. I am thinking of sending back to Daiwa to see if they will fix it for free or replace it. Anyone have any luck with returning out of warranty reels back to Diawa to be fixed or replaced?

I was looking online and can't seem to find a parts diagram for your reel, which sucks, but at least on the spinning reels I've seen, there is a spring for the anti reverse with a little piece of metal, you need to put the piece of metal (kinda looks a bit like a V) onto the post that should be there, and then the spring should go on top of that, with the ears of the spring on both the part that goes to the switch for the anti reverse and the other ear on the V part itself. I have a brand new Pfleuger reel that I disassembled to grease and watched the anti reverse spring go flying. Paperweight until I get around to ordering a new spring for it. Pain in the ass. There are a couple "authorized service centers" in CT: Fisherman's World, Inc. 2 Liberty Square East Norwalk, CT 06855 (203) 866-1075 J & B Tackle 25 Smith Ave Niantic, CT 06357 (860)739-7419 Not Sure if either one of those is close to you, but good luck!

Usually the reels come with a little manual that has a picture of the reel in a broken down illustration so as to show parts and #'s and how they go together if you need to order a new part. That might help.
