Just make sure you take it back when it is still within warranty!

Ravi, just use some Loctite 401 and glue it back in. I had the same issue with my 20000FA Stella where the bail wire had come out completely from the bail arm a couple of years ago and the Loctite sorted it. Have not had that problem come back despite countless fish being take on it. Also use it as a preventative measure on the bail arms screws with some non permanant Loctite and happy to say that all is okay. The Loctite has been a full time fixture in the tackle box for a couple of years now.

Brandon - Loctite is pretty readily available at most hardware stores, or auto parts stores.... its bloody pricey, but a little goes a long way and a bottle should last a few years if used sparingly...
Great idea Sachin!

Hi Brandon,
Next time you are this way remind me and I will give you a bottle of Loctite 4850 to try. The 4850 has a bit thicker consistency and is slightly flexible so it can be used for a number of patch up tasks. It is also great for making wind on leaders.
We have Loctite in stock but it is kept hidden in the fridge out the back so it is only those in the know who know
Cheers,
Janelle
