I hope you can fix it, assuming nothing is bent or damaged. Maybe even snap the ramp in better and it should flatten out. Hope you let us know when it gets fixed what it was exactly. Good luck!

So was it a bad glue job? Malformed plastic piece? What was the diagnosis?

It was hard to take off those plastic,(until my friend advice me to use a acetone)so I've broken it. I'm pretty sure,it was just single mistake,and hopefully not happens again. I'm using a bunch of Daiwa reels,and have just good wolds about .

Well I just hope it is fixed. Buying from overseas can be scary because you are left without a warranty. Reels are simple to work on for the most part, but every now and then that part breaks or mystery issue begins and you are just stuck.

Yea,for sure,we're take a risk to get some staff not from the nearest store,were you can check it before buying... but it's hard to find some BFS or UL tackle here. On my exp mostly all come god,just sometimes sh...t happens,it's the life.

All true. Luckily even the most expensive reels in the world still wouldn't fully ruin someone with low income. I barely make 30K and if I bought a dud $500 reel from Japan I could still make up the work or money if I absolutely had to. You also stand a pretty good chance of fixing it, especially on a baitcasting reel. I personally find them much easier to repair. I can break down my Conquest or the Steez A I had in no time, but even a lower end spinning reel can be hard to get in to.

Fixing is not easy,so better to give it for some specialist.
