Hi Friends,

I am having one Abu Garcia Cardinal spinning reel.
Have not used it much. The problem I see with it is the spool does not have front/back motion when I rotate the handle.
So the line distribution on the spool is not homogeneous. It keeps on accumulating at on place
It was working earlier.

I am based out of Bangalore and need suggestion/some one who can fix my spinning reel.

best regards

The spool movement is controlled by a cam assembly which is fixed to the main shaft of reel a screw. In case your spool is not moving while you are cranking the handle, either the cam assembly is broken or the screw has come off.

Open your reel and then remove the drive gear. Below the drive gear is the cam assembly. Check it. The chances are your cam assembly (Driver or gear) is broken. You can not do any thing except replace the same. In case the screw connecting the driver with the main shaft has come off, tighten it and your reel will be as good as new.

Here is a link for Reel maintenance.

Hope this will help.

Hi Ali,

Thank you very much for the information.
I tried opening the reel once ,But did not go that deep in the reel.
The pictures in the link look almost same as reel was looking from inside.
I am going to refer and fix my reel with the information.
