Pflueger Baitcaster Repair
reel doctor replied to FishingBuds's topic in Rod & Reel building & repair
Remove the palm side , remove spool and see if there is a screw hiding under spool in frame. -
TF, I make the 1/8th oz. BB with 2 counter rotating blades. Right now the Bream & Crappie bite in on and no one wants buzz baits. I appreciate all the input on the names. Thanks again David

I have been pouring my own lil' 1/16 oz spinnerbait .I've been trying to come up with a name for the bait, to no avail. I started these for bluegill & crappie and they are good little lures. Can't keep any because all the locals are wanting them, so I thought I'd get serious about a name. Thanks Any suggestions helpful. David

George You will be able to find any part you need for the 5000 at any repair shop that repairs Garcia's , the late model 5000's haven't changed much from the 70's model. Good Luck David

I have used the spray tubes for aerisol cans, cut to any length you want with a razor blade. I have gotten some from different supply houses that sell spray cleaners, and or lubes that were left in the cases . Just a suggestion .

About 8 or 9 years ago, a fellow in Florida came out with the Millenium Twist hook system. It was a Eagle claw hook attached to a swivel with a worm weight that was drilled out bigger so it would slide over the knot onto the swivel . They stopped the line twist you got fishing plastics. Since then I think I saw the same advertised by a tackle company based in Texas but can't remember the varibles.

As for as I know its still holding up. I let the welding instructor from my old job take it and experiment with it . I had to grind a little off in order for it to fit in the rod but I have not been contacted about replacing the frame for my buddy.I assume he's still using it.

Is this frame black or chrome ? If its chrome ,I've have had one silver soldered. But Let me know because I might have a used frame laying around in my shop.

I appreciate all of your experteze. I looked @ some of the larger clevices I have and they are all the same, but the one's I'm using at the present build , 1/16 & 1/8 oz SB's , One side is longer, and they are not folded . Thank ya'll. David

Question for the Pros : I have noticed that one arm on the clevis' is longer than the other side. Is there a certain way it should be installed on the wire. I have always put the long side on wire first. Curious.

If you sell in state collect sales tax , out of state - no tax. If you plan on making and selling lures check on a excise tax on the lures. A friend of mine had a tackle shop and made wire baits and sold in his store , in Arkansas, was checked by the state on the excise tax not paid on his lures . I'm not sure of his outcome on that, was none of my business but wish I had just in case I decide to do something. David

Please help me fix my Curado!
reel doctor replied to LooksLikeSinbad's topic in Rod & Reel building & repair
I'm not sure what stage it re-engages but it could be 1 of 3 things. If it was working fine before cleaning , check to make sure the ratchet on the driveshaft is seated , check the base of pinion gear, it wears where it set on spool shaft, & check the pinion yoke and see if it sets all the way down on the release on base of the frame. I haven't repaired very many Curado's , but being a Shimano one of these is the fix. David -
I'm playing with a buzz bait design and the only way I can bend the line tie eye is a safety pin design, they are not all uniform. Will the Hagen wire bender handle .051 wire. I have always bent by hand and the .051 is rough on a old man. Thanks in advance. David

I have went by a piano repair shop and purchased .030" piano wire that had been removed from a piano at a reasonal price and it was in a 6" coil.

Will do. Thanks.

I'm pouring some 1/16 & 1/8 oz. SB's and it seems I have some real soft lead. Is there anything I can put in it to stiffen it so they will not bend @ the hook /wire connection ?
