Crack 100 Reel Parts
 

I found a Crack 100 spinner in the basement and I need a couple of screws for it. Does anyone know if parts are available anywhere?

Thanks,
Fishpart

Never heard of that reel. Probably one of the biggest parts sources for reels is Buckos in Fall River <a href="http://www.buckosparts.com/" target="_blank"><!--auto-->http://www.buckosparts.com/</a><!--auto--> He is the area factory service rep for several manufaturers, Shimano, Abu, Penn, etc... He may also be a good source for parts by e-mail. I'm hoping to get down there (Fall River, Ma.) to pick up some parts next week, like thumb screws for a 7000 reel I promised for the 1000th post <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->...

Mike T <a href="http://capecodtackle.com" target="_blank"><!--auto-->http://capecodtackle.com</a><!--auto--> also has a large selection of old reel parts, he would be a good lookup as well...

This is a very old reel, I believe Crack reels were some of the earliest and the Very Spensive design was based on the Crack/Luxor. Bucko's sold out of parts in '85, I beive The Surfcaster has parts, but I have heard they only service reels but I have been wrong in the past. Thanks for the help. Thumbscrews <img src="/Images/TooHappy.gif"><!--e13-->, just ordered a 1266/2 from Mike T for that 7000.

You may wish to order a bearing upgrade kit as well. Aww Crap, that's going to cause another bearing -v- bushing debate <img src="/Images/biggrin.gif"><!--e7-->...

Let the debate begin, I plan on using this rig as a Canal set-up so long casting is often necessary. I will eventually add bearings but after a new rod it may be next season <img src="/Images/Sad.gif"><!--e2-->

Fishpart, Bill from The Surfcaster set out to corner the market on Luxor/Crack parts and prety much succeeded. He's about the only game in town, and you're correct, you have to ship him the reel. He will not sell you even a screw separately. If you're lucky, maybe he'll at least pay for the return shipping instead of charging it to your plastic <img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"><!--e1-->

If you plan on fishing the Canal scrap the spinning outfit and go with a Conventional. A fairly stiff 10 foot stick with a good casting reel is what you need.

Mike, Thanks that is what I was hoping against.
