in continuance of this thread.....anyone have a reel blow with a fish on? My Shimano black bantam, which had brought hundreds of steelhead to bank, blew two years ago with a nice nate on. Just disintigrated and all parts went in the drink. Lost the fish. They don't make the parts anymore and there is one special screw on the fighting star drag you can't find anywhere. Every time I look at that reel I get depressed.
