Pflueger Supreme XT antireverse?

[The Real McCoy]

I have a supreme XT that works fine until I set the hook hard. Then the majority of the time the anti reverse will fail for an instant then engage for the rest of the fight. Any ideas?

Might have some dirt in it, maybe some oil, maybe it's just failing. If you're handy you can take it apart and see what it looks like and go from there. Easiest thing to do would be just to find a replacement part and replace it. Found this listed on eBay after a quick search: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pflueger-On...kAAOSwK-NgIXOj About $12 shipped

Thanks man. I will open it up and see what it looks like.

So I ordered a anti reverse bearing from ereplacementparts.com and they sent the wrong one. Returning it for a full refund was done with no issue. Now my question is...Where else can I get a replacement bearing?

Send the reel back to the factory (new location in the Penn Tackle Mfg. Co. Philadelphia, PA) for repair or replacement. All Pure Fishing reels need to go to this location for service.

I just experienced the same exact thing fishing for big smallies on Lake Erie the first couple times out this spring. Happened sporadically, and feels like you are in back reel when it does happen. Asked a buddy who uses them as well and he says it has to do with the colder air temps. Not sure if this is true, but I've never had this issue in summer. Today it was in the 50s and I didn't have any problems, so maybe he's right.

Mine definitely happens though out the whole year...not just cold weather. But not every time either. I will try to clean it. If it does not work then I will throw it away. I will not spend the money to send it in to be repaired.

Have one going back for the same issue right now.
