Carpbell_ll Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Anyone know how to fix a slipping clutch on a baitrunner ST, it is giving line even when reeling in a bit of weed it is no longer safe for fishing unless there is a nut or something i can tighten? not worth paying for a service, couple of old RE Areo on gumtree could be a quick replacement for 20-30 notes, would sooner fix this one for now though. That last fish i had this week seems to of finished it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 No advice on how to approach the beastie before i start undoing screws, going to try to adjust the screw at the back see if it will tighten things up, got the rear drag on full lock it was giving line when reeling in.

carpepecheur Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I had a similar problem. I could not tighten up the rear drag tight enough. All I did was loosen the baitrunner drag as far as it would go then strip off some line against the light drag. I then reset it to it normal position and was then able to tighten up the rear drag enough after that, I have no explanation why but worth a try before going in.
