Any help appreciated!

I inherited an SA System 1 678 reel that's missing a few parts (pawl, spring, button, more?).

Anyone know if parts can be found or would buying a whole reel to transfer parts be more likely?





Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, that was kind of what I was thinking. I'll have to track down that reel!

Scientific Anglers (SA) sold various System reels for decades. Most were good and some were great.

The Daiwa made reels were marked with the name System One, with the word One spelled out. The original poster's reel is a System 1, made for SA by British Fly Reels (BFR). The BFR made reels were marked with a superscript numeral 1. The BFR reels had a much different click pawl drag than the Daiwa reels, so an old 706 is not a good parts donor. I would not expect the spools to interchange either.

Bulldog had a solid suggestion, keep the spool and find another System 1 reel. Keep in mind that sellers don't understand the different model numbers, so trust the photos more than the description.
