IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR 330GT Reel
Change to plunger style clicker system and ergonomic housing
Was revised in the newer models manufactured since 6/13/08.
These changes can be applied to the older reels if wished.
KEY
** part removed in newer system setup
-- part did not exist in older system
How do you tell which version you have?
The quickest way to tell if you have an original run reel or one made after the design changes is to look at the housing and the left side ring. The original ring is completely flat. The newer 28N-330 ring is concave.
Once you open the reel up the design change in the clicker is more obvious. See the schematic for parts comparison.
Converting
Converting to the new design is completely optional. The older system will work. You might have to make the conversion only if we run out of older parts and you need one that's missing for repairs. You can use this page as a reference to order the parts from either system via the links above in the 2008 or 2004 columns, once you have identified which version you are working on.
