when your winding forward and stop,occasionally instead of the anti revers engaging it will turn backwards like the anti reverse has been flicked over underneath but it hasn't its still engaged

I've got 4, no issues so far. Anything can have issues though, I had the line guard totally lock up on an Emblem with a double figure Barbel on the end in a weirpool - that was fun when I couldn't wind in!

Mine have developed the exact same problem, they've never been opened. I've had from new for a good 4-5 years.

I've sold these on, I just wasn't confident in 2 of them failing whilst out on the bank

I've just sold a set of these - the guy that has bought them is saying that the handle is not switchable he's l/h - is this true?

You can swap the handle over to suit your needs in a few seconds.

The intermittent issue (and its a big one to be fair) on the anti-reverse is that the spring they chose to pull the catch back in is simply not good/strong enough, if you are able to replace it with a stronger spring then it is actually an easy and permanent fix. Requires a bit of taking apart to get to it but I managed. I got some springs from ebay that were much better for a couple of quid. Good reels otherwise but this seems a step too far for me to make something fucntion as it should.

Hi, I've just started to have this exact same slipping issue with the anti reverse on the okuma inc 6000. On the off chance does anyone have any links and or suggestions for the type of heavier gauge wire springs to buy for the replacements.

Thanks for any help.

I am still confused what the problem is can anyone explain how to test the reels

In reply to Post #58
I don't think you can test them. The anti reverse either engages immediately, as it should, or at times allows some movement backwards, as if the anti reverse is not engaged.
I dissmantled mine, made sure all was clean and put a drop of very thin gun oil on the assembly. They appear to be working fine, but for how long I don't know.
Putting oil on might not be a good idea in the long run but thought I'd give it a try.
I'd be very interested in finding some suitable, stronger springs for mine. I know someone sourced some off ebay, but I wouldn't know what to go for.

I only noticed an issue with one of my reels so far. Everything was fine, until I got to the latter stages of playing in a fish and whilst reeling in and gaining line, the back wind suddenly engaged. It doesn't actually happen all of time. Just quite frustrating when it does.

I've tried to source some springs from eBay but couldn't find any. Next step was an email to Okuma, not heard anything back as yet.
Future fishing have ordered me in some via Okuma, the part I've ordered from the reels part list is 801. There seems to be a few week wait on them though. I'm hopeful Okuma have made the springs into a thicker gauge. But, I can't help think the same issue will occur down the line if the springs are a like for like replacement.

I don't suppose I can test at home I take it needs to have some resistance how frustrating when it does not happen all the time it would be better if it did it all the time then you would know when it's fixed I checked okuma offer a 5 year warranty
