Location: Straight out from shore! | My 5600 is getting loud and I am wondering what I need to replace. I pulled it apart and cleaned and oiled everything but it is still loud and feels like grinding/groaning when I retrieve a lure.
Thanks

| Pikemaster... I'[ve had to replace the pinion gear and main gear on a couple reels dues to them beginning to "grind"...
I never even thought about replacing the keeper, as I didn't see any apparent wear. Is there a way to tell if it needs to be replaced? Or, is it like a worm gear/pawl, where you should just replace them as a set?

| I had 2 reels with the same issue.I asked David (Bobs Rod & Reel) the Wisconsin Warranty & Service shop..
Told me,if the heavier "Power Braided" lines like 80# & 100" are used,the gears will get rough and noisy..
And did you know,if you have the 6.3-1 gears in a C3 or C4,they can be swapped out??..Sure Nuf!
A gear set goes for $24.60 & $2.40 for the pinion yoke (part #20664)
Bob's gets my business,because i dont like having to send my reels in thru the mail...
Bobs is Warranty for Minnesota,Wisconsin & Michigan,but he gets reels from people even in N.Y. State & Washington/Idaho |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | I have custom made GEARS 5.3:1 in S.Steel for the ABU 5000-6600, will last alot longer then Brass gears. It not so much the line it's the heavy reelin of hard pulling baits. |

I'd like that kind of longevity..... although I don't wear out my gears all that quickly...maybe every 3 years or so..
