OK guys don't laugh but when I was a kid the only really good reel you could buy was the old Mitchell 300( I still have my dads half bail 300 somewhere) . Anyway for old times sake I bought the new 300X and it is a sweet reel; only problem after a couple of years the bail spring has become weak and you sort of have to help it along after a cast. Anyone know if this is something a person with limited mechanical ability can fix and if so where to purchase a spring (I guess this is the problem) I've lubed it so much it squirts. thanks cmorjoe

No ,spend the 10 bucks to get it fixed.Mike at Somethings Fishy in West Haven is the best when it comes to fixing reels.
