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.

    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.

    *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.*

    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.
