Scorpion 70 palm side plate kindda loose.

Post by Just_Bass » Sun Nov 18, 2018 1:55 pm

My scorpion 70 got a palm side plate that is not tight fit. It locks no problem but it can move in and out a little. Anyone has this problem on Scorpion 70? I tried fitting with my curado 70, it seem the frame is the problem becuz curado side plate not tight fit as well.

There are shims that are under the lock plate. They can be adjusted for fit. Look at the schematic that came with your reel.

BNT5353 is the part number on the CU70 schematic. You can add shims to make it fit tighter, eliminate them to make it looser.
