Alcedo Oceanic Bail Spring Replacement/ Please Help

Post by Degle »

Hello,

I'm new to this board and a 1st time poster. It appears there are some knowledgable and helpful folks out there and I hope someone can help me with my problem.

I inherited an Alcedo Oceanic. It appears to work well, but the bail does not flip. I found some springs for it labeled "salt water springs" (stainless?), but I do not know how to go about replacing them. On my other Alcedos (Erie and Micron), I can see the bail springs when I take off the spool. I guess the spring on the Oceanic is inside? I'm afraid to open it up and mess things up as I don't know what I am doing. Is there anyone out there who can walk me through the process? Otherwise... Is there anyone who specializes in repairing Alcedos? My other Alceodos can use some work/parts as well.

Thanks,
Glen :?
