They may not have the replacement parts available as you had mentioned an old reel. Best if you could bring down to tackle shops that knows how to service reel.

But i tried a few shops oredi but it seems dat they dun have bando spare parts.

It's difficult to get replacements from tackleshop unless you can get hold of the manufacturer/distributor. I believe Brando has been rebranded as Banax now, Korean reels. Unless the reel holds some sentimental values, I'd say it's easier and cheaper buying a new reel.

Here is the pic of the reel itself

but its the drag which is spoilt not the reel itself ..

But it is also useless if you can't get a replacement drag parts right? This certainly does look like an old reel, you don't need to go down every tackle shop, just call them up and ask if they have the parts or know who the distributor is.

Do u have the number of the tackle shop that u recommend??

[Peace]

You can try calling Hong guan, Joe's tackle, changi pro or riverland. You can find the numbers on the tackle shop directory. You should have the reel checked out first, it may not necessarily need a replacement part to repair it. Take note that troubleshooting alone will incur a charge.

What do u mean by checking out the reel and troubleshooting?

[Peace]

Yes, by that I mean opening up the reel and diagnose the problem.

you could sell it as an valuable peice of reel history.
