aafishing94 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi all, I own a Shimano Sahara 2500fe and my drag sound is not working, I believe I have played around my drag clicker and I would like to know which direction it should be pointing and how it should look like for it to function properly. If someone can upload a picture of their sahara's drag clicker while its screwed onto their spool I would be more than grateful. I also believe I may need a new drag clicker.

mii11x Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 MIght sound like a silly question, but its not the line just spinning on the spool is it? ie, when you pull the line does the entire spool turn? I only ask cos one night my mate an I were fishing on my boat, he noticed the "no clicking sound" when he pulled line, turns out the line was free spinning on the spool.

aafishing94 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 yeah the entire spool does turn, the drag works fine it tightens and loosens as i twist the cap, I just miss the sound of hearing it scream when I have a fish on my line.

mii11x Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 and the spool is seated on the main shaft correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii11x Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 How old is the reel?.....have you got your receipt? Or perhaps visit the service centre - near cronulla somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefish Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The clicker on the reel has to mesh with the teeth on the spool, The centre V bit should be facing straight to the axle if you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4myson Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Stevefish is right ... The V of the clicker should be always in the centre , yours is to the side . It should always return to the centre .. So it's either siezed on the screw or the spring is broken or needs to be restrecthed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aafishing94 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Okay so I bought a new spring from shimano, does the spring need to sit in front or behind the drag clicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefish Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Caution, technical jargon ahead- Referenced off a symetre reel It looked like you needed to turn the mechanism 15 degrees anticlockwise. 15 second fix? The pieces should be Screw Spring with feet laying down over the "v clicker thing" V clicker thing The v clicker works like a chocolate wheel clicker on the plastic toothy wheel on the underside of the spool. If it's not lined up like in your picture because either it's been tightened in the wrong position or the spring is lost/broken, the toothy wheel and the v clicker can't work together.
