If you can't pick what you want up from that site, use Pure Fishing on 0845 0500093. Top service and cheap too  |

Yeah Nick I ordered a replacement clutch arm that seems to fail in every 6500 after a few years, £2.64 inc postage  I actually almost forgot I had the Mag Elite (old green one) and found it at the bottom of a box. If I can revive it, then I'll have two operational ;D (If you've ever had the problem where the spool doesn't reengage when you turn the handle, you will know what I mean  |

I got wot I needed within 48hrs mate..maybe they dont like Island Money....lolol Do a link for the successful company that helped you though as then we "ALL" can enjoy the service of a better parts supplier as the more links we have the better for all the members. Nuff sed..!!!!!!!!!1 Gazza |

Hope you sort it out! If you need any hints on fitting it just drop me a PM The 5500 and 6500 clutch arms have different part numbers I think but not sure if they are actually physically different. You might be better off ordering the 6500 one and putting the 5500 one back. |

thats what i was planning, the 5500 one works fine in the 6500 and vice verca. when i get it i'll have a play around and see which works best.
i keep looking at the 5500 and thinking what a shame its out of service, its a great reel to fish with and i cant wait!
