He could always take it back to the lads at Wally World.
"Bob La Londe" wrote in message om... Remove the bail. set it on a block of wood. Reshape it carefully with a heavy nonmarring hammer. A plastic deadblow might work. I would use a lead mallet, but you can't just go buy those you have to make your own. "Calif Bill" wrote in message link.net... "fishtale" wrote in message oups.com...

How do i bend it back to it's original shape without damaging the reel.The bail does not bend that easy. Thanks Come on now...are we just to tell you what to do if we do not know what we are supposed to do it to ;} The reel type is Daiwa Whiskers 1300. I had a go at bending the bail wearing gloves. The bail is rather thick wire and not easy to bend.. It seems to be clearing the handle. It's a good reel. Its' puzzling as to why the bail got bent in the first place. I store the reel in my gear bag and I have caught some big fish (non bass) using the reel. I didn't think I had to name the reel since a bail on a spinning reel is quite standard. Thanks and tight lines Get a hammer and hit it. If it does not work to straighten it, do not force it. Get a bigger hammer. *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |
