KY jelly?I don’t have any wd40..
He's tried that it still wouldn't comeKY jelly?
It’s been on and off every time I have used it.Only because it`s probably the first time you`ve taken the reel off in years
My rods are the same, gives characterAnyway .. those are mackerel scales that have been there since 2017..
My rods are the same, gives character
It looks fckd to me.The important bit is WHERE you tap it. Some WD would help but if not some washing up liquid mind you by the state of the rod I`d guess you aint got any of that either.
Wee soak with Fairy or whatever and tap opposite the reel foot, i.e. the bit that would be skywards as you are fishing. Soak say 5 mins, grab the reel and give it a few twists then tap as per the arrow.

Thye two bits are a compression fit, not easy to do without machine. Just give the hood (the dod the reel foot is in) a thump where I showed in the picture. It will be slightly off straight and no doubt salt encrusted.I have tried tightening up the twisty bit to the stuck part and taping it up with electrical tape.. and turning it back with a pair of mole grips.. end result f all…
You can see that in the pic.It will be slightly off straight

Tried that on the wife..He's tried that it still wouldn't come
I can't believe it won't be off in a couple of taps following these instructions?The important bit is WHERE you tap it. Some WD would help but if not some washing up liquid mind you by the state of the rod I`d guess you aint got any of that either.
