Posts: 61 12/23/2008 16:05	Tags : None If this post doesn't belong here please move it or delete it. I couldn't figure out exactly where, or if, I should post it. Anyway, I was recently given a Daiwa, 731A fly reel by one of my employees. He knows of my love for fly fishing and he told me "it is old" so he gave it to me. It can't be very old but it certainly isn't new as it was on an older Eagle Claw fibreglass rod. It seems to be a fairly decent reel and because it was a gift from an employee I'd like to use it. It came RHW and I believe it is easy to switch to LHW. I know how to move the spring from the left to the right side as your looking into the reel body, but.......I screwed up and didn't pay attention to what Daiwa calls the "friction spring" and how it was connected......and it came out.....and I don't know how to hook it up. I know where it goes.....but how does that dadblamed thing connect to the pawl or whatever that other thingy is called? (yea...real technical of me, huh). At any rate I'm at a loss as to how to hook up that spring. Any help or advice appreciated....... I know....it isn't a Hardy, Ross, Orvis, Young, Abel or any of the other high end makers but what the heck, it was a gift from an employee who thought enough of me to pick up this rod and reel and give it to me. For all I know it was given to him and he just passed it on but that's unimportant. Thanks Vic

The friction spring fits in a groove at the base of the spindle and the fricion spring tip goes into the small hole on the pawl.

Posts: 10 12/24/2008 05:57	Yes, the end of the friction spring is supposely inserted into the hole of the click claw.. But somehow or rather in my reel, it comes out whenever I reverse the spool. By the way, the photo that dennis put up is my reel. I did some modification by adding another spring as advised by pearow> http://fiberglassflyrodde...m/reply/56444#reply-56444 and the results was good! Here's a photo of it.. this reel was set up for left hand retrieve and I place the softer spring at the right side, the stronger spring at the left. Hope this will be an option for you if your reel have the same problem as mine..
