Need Help Badly for my Shimano Stella 6000FA

[JackAndTheBreamStalk]

Hi All,

My brother took my Shimano Stella 600FA last night and told me that he loosened the drag so much that it fell into the water. Now there is sand caught in the spools bearings and I have no idea how to get it out i tried rinsing it and that did no good.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I be calling up Shimano for a replacement?

Cheers,

Tell your tight a324se bro to go spend his own hard earned on his own gear.He should have had it fixed then returned to you.Lending high end gear will always end in tears.Your obviously a very generous person.Jim

Hahaha im so dumb. He is a clever little sport that reminds me of a Jack. He asked me when i was really busy, "hey can i borrow your reel" me and my mate are going fishing, and i said yes not specifying which one. But its all be worked out now. she is humming again, but still waiting for shimano to send me the drag knob that he lost, so he will definatly be picking up that bill.
