Antares AR Sideplate

Post by buddy brown »

Hey Dan,

My Antares AR sideplate is stuck. The dial that opens and closes the sideplate used to have very little range of motion, now it has alot of range but it is stuck and won't open. I don't want to stick a butter knife in there.

Do you use this reel in salt water? It sounds like some corrosion build up in there or maybe some dirt?

You can try to use a pair of pliers covered with masking tape to try and get this piece to turn. If it breaks then you will need to replace parts :(

I wish I had some magic way to open it when it is stuck.
