Doesn’t it have a button (emblem) on the side of the reel to push? Then rotate the cover upwards and pull out?
That’s what I was thinking this one must not work it won’t budge
No idea how that reel works, but I have a Curado 51E I bought used that I couldn't open the side cover on. Was afraid to use too much force for fear of breaking something. Sent it out. The pin was bent. Reel professional straightened it out best he could as he didn't want to have to charge me $10 shipping for a 50 cent part. Still opens hard, but at least it opens. BTW, I posted about my problem (not on this site). This was my second 51E, but you would have thought from some of the posts I got about it that I was a bono fide idiot for not being able to open the cover.
I had an inexpensive Pflueger casting reel that I gave my son. The side plate was removed by pushing in on the emblem with the "P" on it on the side plate and then rotating the side plate.Originally Posted by basscat tyler
