Wifey's Spheros 6000 handle is bent and now the reel catches when reeled slowly. Anyone have a spair one they want to part with or have a suggestion as to where I can get a replacement?

I don't have one, but, if you can find one (might have to order direct from Shimano), get a Saragossa handle. They fit the Spheros reels and are much stronger by design.

Thanks BB, I'll check into that.

can you send me a pm if you find a parts store...I've been looking with no luck.. I dropped the end cap on the reel handle of my 14000fb the other day (not sure what you call that part)

Toby, I have a Spheros 6K handle. I will bring it to the meeting if your going.

Not going to the meeting tonight, but I'll try to hook up soon to grab it from you. Thanks!

Let me know. Great meeting. Lot of eyes watching and minds absorbing. I was pleased with the intent of the new members to obtain a grasp on the surfcasting art.

I am pretty sure Buckos became a Shimano authorized repair shop last year - worth a try.
