Fin-nor Spinning reel parts?

Post by reelworks »

Might anyone know where I can get parts for a Fin-nor Lite S-600 spinning reel? I tried all of the old numbers but they are disconnected, the new number connects me with Zebco Parts, and I have been trying for 2 weeks to get through. I have left messages, but get no response.
I need a main gear, the old one just crumbled, like it was made of clay.
I see no online email address to get through either. If anyone has any info or knows someplace that may have or be able to sell me this part, please let me know.
I tried to order parts for other Zebco made reels, but their policy seems to be only to ship the whole reel back to them. I ran into this with a Lew's reel recently.

I'll check. This doesn't sound right.

Fin-nor Spinning reel parts?

Post by reelworks »

Zebco finally got back to me today, they gave me another number to call at Fin-nor, 1-888-886-2064 ext. 122. The recording answeres Fin-nor/Cape Fear Rods, ... please leave a message. I left a message, and I am waiting for the reply.
The gentleman at Zebco who returned my call stated that Fin-nor is a recent purchase and the parts division has yet to be integrated into the Zebco parts system. He told me that that will happen soon and that parts would be available through Zebco's parts line, but had no idea as to how far back parts would be stocked. The reel I need the parts for is probably about 6 years old. The Zebco representiitve that called was not familiar with any of the Fin-nor line. I only hope that Fin-nor does not become a department store line for Zebco like most of their other brands.
Can you imagine the Fin-nor name on a Zebco or Quantum clone. I'll post back when or if I do get a return call.
