How To: Fix a Broken Anti-Reverse on a Spinning Reel
In this video I show you two types of common issues that result in the anti-reverse failing on your spinning reel and how to repair both. I hope this was helpful!
And if anyone can tell me why this option even exists on our reels comment below and let me know.

Yes it definitely was! 100%
My father passed away a few years ago. I recently found one of his fishing poles and the anti-reverse did not work due to unhooked spring. Thanks to your video it is fixed. Now I have another wonderful memory of my dad. Thank you.

I'm so glad this couldve helped. My best memories with my dad were of being on the water. He worked a lot and was... out a lot... but we had those memories and I know that's why I have this passion today. Tight lines my friend

I have to check my fishing rods , I didn’t know they had anti reverse in them .
*Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*
5 years later and this video saved me from buying another reel, thank you.

Same thing here
really saved my bank account today almost went to go buy a new reel thankfully saw this video🙏🏿
I was able to fix my reel with the instructions you presented in the video. I was thinking it couldn't be fixed and almost threw my reel out before I saw your video. You saved me money which is helpful with prices on everything going up. Thanks for doing this.

I love taking reels apart, you learn a lot and/or break a lot. I don't ruin as many as I used to.

I love KZread. It’s videos like this that make it so great. Thanks man. I am terrible at fixing things but I was able to fix my busted reel with this video.
I spent 2 hours to find and fix the problem and I opened KZread I searched and this video came up and In just 5 minutes I fixed my reel the video it was very helpful thanks man
1st video I've ever seen with this many views and no dislikes. Thanks for the info. Very helpful! Well done.
Thank you for posting this video. First solution fixed my anti reverse perfectly.
Thank you. Bought a new reel and this happened after about 5 uses. I wasn't really sure what to search for, but I'm glad I found this. Tytyty!!
OMG.😯 I was ready to trash my favorite reel now I'm back in action thanks buddy.

Thank you for responding so quickly I really appreciate you from what you told me I saw the post and I got it done I had to Spring backwards so the real kept spinning both ways now it spins one way the way it's supposed to had a rope tied around the pole and a handle to stop it from moving not anymore thank you very much God bless
Just potentially saved me from replacing a shimano stella spinning reel. That’s $1000 I did not want to have to spend. Thanks man!
Dude, thank you so much...I have a Browning spinning reel that I really love and it had Problem # 2. I never would have guessed that your solution was the problem. Awesome!

6 year old video but saved my life.. thanks 👍🏼🔥
Very helpful, 1st repair helped, stayed for the 2nd to get more smarter!! Thanks
OMG you are a life saver!! My problem was the second one.... Thought the reel was just going to be going in the garbage. My local tackle shop wouldn't even help me. My only complaint is that the video was a bit out of focus on the small components part.... so it was hard to see. But it all worked out Thanks!

Thank you so much for the kind words and the much deserved constructive criticism. I've been hoping to re-do this vid with a decent camera but money is super tight. I'm so glad it helped though!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks and well done.
Thanks for posting, I never knew. I have a small box full of reels with the same problem. Looks like I will be busy.
Very informative video. I was having a anti-reverse button problem on my Rapala Arachnid 5000. Opened it up and I had the two issues! The spring was off the switch and then the silver ring was slipping a bit off the tooth gear so I used a potent glue and it hold quite nicely. Thanks a lot!
I fixed mine thanks to your video. Thanks!
nice tips...fixed my quantum reel quickly based on these helpful tips!!!
Great instructions. It worked! Since I have 4 Pfleuger reels I ordered a second spring and am now glad I did. Thanks.

Mate, your video was so helpful, I thought I was gonna have to buy a new reel, I pulled it apart and sure enough, that tiny spring had popped off, it was a bit of a pain to get it back on but in less than a 2 mins the reel was fixed… thanks heaps man..
Awesome some very cool hints there!!!! Take care and tight lines!!!
Thanks!! You just helped me save my favorite reel!! (problem #2 is what I had)
Thanks so much, I ran into the issue in part 2, fixed with JB weld!

As an addition to the video, for those who do use JB Weld, after one hour, make sure you scrape off any excess weld that is inside the bearing/gear. It will peel off like rubber cement, and allows the glue to remain just inside the cylinder, and not hunk up the works. Great tutorial, and a pretty easy DIY for saving some $ on sending a reel in for service.
Really handy! Just fixed my Okuma!!! Nearly binned it as it was sooooo annoying!
Thanks for the help man.

Thank U. I will try to fix one of my fave Okuma spinning reels tomorrow. Like this reel for pulling spinners as it is pretty fast retrieve and smooth handling. Was very disappointed when the anti-reverse quit working.

It was the spring and the loop was too stretched to be able to hook it around the post.
Thanks I just got my first spinning reel I’ve had other reels but the reverse lock broke and now I can fix it.
Excellent video!!
Thanks that helped a lot mate
So happy I came across this video, today my reel started acting up... Turned out it was problem 1 caused by some line that tangled at one point and pulled the spring off... Less than 5 minutes and its fixed.

I'm fighting with one now it worked i took apart to greese omg they sold me wrong stuff it was so thick. i have to take apart clean the best i could and sprayed lithium grease inside to fix. took a while being i had no cleaner to get old greese out but charcoal lighter fluid it worked with some stuff a guy had for greese. but i got the reverse kinda fixed. it had 3 settings. stop or stops back at the trigger spot or not at all. well only 2 work. I'll try to fix again later. but it's a brim reel i ain't to worried. but good video thanks god bless
