datguy.dev Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Greetings, Awhile ago, I stopped at my father's place I discovered an ultralight spincast reel and rod. I think it is called the "Shakespeare MicroSpin MSS P46." It goes for $2 on Ebay! But I have a lot of memories with this setup as a child. So I want to fix it up, use it again, and pass it to my future son some day. Make a wooden handle for it. The rod is broken, but that is an easy replacement. The reel just needs some paint and grease. I can't really figure out how to get out the pins for the both handle and from the release lever.... If anyone knows how, I greatly appreciate it? I'm currently leaning towards brute force so I wanted to ask first. Thanks! Edited June 17, 2019 by datguy.dev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsouth Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) they are pressed in, best bet would be drill them out...starting with a small bit and moving up in size. The release lever has a spring if I remember right so be careful with it. First hole needs to be dead center to avoid oval holes left from not being centered.

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I have a very similar looking reel mounted on the original rod in my rod rack. A couple buddies and I all bought one at K-Mart to go bluegill fishing one day some 20-25 years ago. We had a blast. I was wailing the redear on cheese balls, and one of my buddies had the fight of a lifetime when he stuck a 2 pound bass. When I get a moment I'll wander over to that part of the shop and take a look to see if I can add any insight.
