BobP Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Try Scotch brand 2242 Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape, from any home center. It sticks to itself strongly but not to the surface, is waterproof, and tough. Cut off a 3-4" piece and wrap it around the ring while stretching it. It won't come off unless you want it to and will never become sticky like electrical tape. I also use it to splice electrical wires, anchor wires from the front sonar onto the trolling motor control cable, and even to cushion tool handles.

Musky Glenn Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Which type ring is coming loose, the slip rings or the screw type. I would guess that the cork under the reel seat has compressed so that there is not enough friction on top of the reel foot. Maybe shim the reel foot between the cork and the reel foot. Just a thought. Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
