My Reel Problem

[Royce808]

What's up guys. So I been goin crazy the last two days. I just bought a hammerhead Evo on Craigslist and it came with a reel. It was kind of hard to pull the line so I tried messing with the knob and idk now it's like stuck in free spool. I can't wrap my mono bc it's so loose now. There's like no info online, I looked and called local shops I really hope it ain't broken. Also it didn't come with that piece that you use to reel it in (handle I guess)? I can't find anyplace that sells parts for reels. I need help

Btw it's a hammerhead remora reel. Thanx

I found out the problem. Turns out the drag knob is a little stripped so I couldnt tighten it with my hands I had to use a pliers. A big relief, I thought I broke the reel lol. I looked everywhere and called everyone for a new handle and drag knob but no luck. I emailed Hammerhead spearfishing and now im just waiting lol.
Thanx for the help

A new reels is under $40, not exactly breaking the bank. If I were you I'd just replace it.

Wow I didn't know they get that cheap. Is a $40 reel worth buying? The reel I have is $100 brand new and hammerhead isn't too pricey with their products so I assumed all reels were expensive lol

lol you're right I don't know where I got that figure from. Cheapest reel I've seen is around $60.

Ya I'm pretty sure the knob is gonna be like 10 bucks. I just coughed up $90 for the gun so I'll prolly just Frankenstein this reel if I can't find the parts lol.
