I suppose other options may be epoxy or JB Weld. If I were feeling brave, I might try to solder between the brass and steel parts. Soldering might also cook the paint on the aluminum parts, so only risk it if you dare.

Worked great!

My cork rings were only 1-1/4"d, however;
and I really could've used another 1/8" or so.
These Martins sure hold a lot of line!

But thanks to Tom for sharing this.
I do appreciate it.

Somehow I missed this thread I am glad it was readdressed.

Make the hole in the cork a little smaller than the central arbor. As you load the backing, the cork will squeeze down on the arbor and keep everything solid. If you need to, you could wrap a little double sided tape around the arbor too.

I was out on the lawn tonight getting a new Berkley PG40-8 ready for it's debut on the pond this weekend.
I paired it with a Martin 67SSA and it balances-out well with ~35yds. of backing and a Cortland 333 bass taper WF7F line.
The problem is, there's quite a lot of space left on the reel, and I don't want to suck it up by adding a bunch more backing;
because the balance is just right, right now.

I had a couple with loose ratchet wheels also. My first approach was to literally hit it with a hammer. I still have the frame and screw if anyone needs a spare.

The successful solution was to clean the spool and superglue the loose parts. I degreased the spool with Dawn soap, rinsed with hot water, and blew it dry with compressed air. Then I dripped some thin superglue into the gaps between the spindle and the spool. I also added a drop between the brass spacer... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jgestar) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/17286 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:15:31 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/17285/t/Rehabilitating-a-Pflueger-Trump-with-an-old-trick.html#reply-17285
