How to fix spincast reel

How to fix a spincast fishing reel when button won’t work and handle won’t rotate. Your situation may be different but the fishing line was wrapped around the spincast reel’s pin and preventing the spincast reel’s button from being able to push-in and handle not spinning. Hope this help, and fish on!

THANKNYOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! My six-year-old son wanted to go fishing for his birthday.So mommy bought the fishing license and but one of those combination, telescoping rods that come with the beginner's tackle and we went out the next day. Now keep in mind mommy hasn't gone fishing since mommy was ten years old and is now the answer to life the universe and everything So you can figure out howold I am now. LOL. We used this one time and this exact thing happened. I had no idea how to get the line inside untangled. When I gave it a search, your video was the first one I seen. SUBSCRIBED IMMEADIATELY!!!
Made my son EXTATTIC!! Off to dig up some worms and grubs and heading to the lake .He is a happy boy thanks to your video.😊

My 4 year old daughter and I had our fishing cut short the other day for the same issue. Didn't know how to fix it at the time, but now I can. Thank you so much.

I need to see how to reassemble this as I have no idea where the line goes after the tangle was removed.

i have a lunker gear rod from bass pro shops i was casting with it like i usually do and then i pressed the button a little to the left and the button fell into the reel is there any way i can fix it at home or will i have to do it professionally?

Thanks for showing me what's inside that plain-metal housing, which...I'd thought might blow up like a clockspring if I were so foolish as to unscrew it. Prolly got some crud in there that's keeping it from freespooling...I'll soon see.
BTW are these known for perhaps not spooling in without, I'm guessing, overlaps in line - that would tend also to make them not spool out freely?
Is one supposed to put a little drag on the line when reeling in, or can the line just be floating in the breeze, and it should still wind OK?

Thanks buddy I have a zebco boss hawg that sometimes does this and a abu Garcia abumatic 290 I’ll try it tomorrow 👍

[audrealoren]

Why didn't you show how to get the line back through the metal piece I have no idea where to put it

[DaveyD]

Thanks! I was ‘bout ready to say some dad words trying to fix this haha

[kcbegay]

I thought I had same problem but unfortunately the pin is chewed (gap on pin) by the line. So every time I push button, no release. It just get stuck

[taylorchurch]

After I replaced the line now the drag feature doesn’t work. Any idea on what has gone wrong?

[real_eguy]

Do you know or does anybody know what to do if the wire falls back inside the hole

[michaelchurchill]

How did you take the top off mine wont come off

[dr.cornboy]

Funny how these random videoes do the trick. I thought I broke an expensive tell, but just a small mistake. Thanks
