Help with Eagle Claw EC88-B spincast reel

Post by john elder »

A fellow posted, looking for help with this reel and he sent it along...I have it running and drag works, but there are several issues that require a schematic...does anyone have one in the box manual or otherwise? ...or has had experience with this reel?

Issues:
1. the reel came with the big spring under the cover....if that is really supposed to be there, then the line has to thread through it, which will cause it to bind and pinch...something isn't right....reel works fine if spring is left out...the little cap over the main gear is just loose.

2. anti-reverse is hit-and-miss...I'm concerned there is a missing washer or something isn't set right...too much play.

3. The housing over the spool on this reel does not move in and out like on most spincast reels when you press the lever....and there is no obvious way to get it off to check underneath....you have to tie on line "blind" at this point...anyone know how this can be removed?
