Recently bought a box of lovely antiques… several Wright McGill rods, about a million flies, and this. What is it?

DJHalfCourtViolation on August 5, 2025 2:11 am Yeah it’s supposed to put tension on the tab so your drag clicker clicks. It won’t fuck up the function of your reel but your drag won’t click. Looks like the spring is broken. Or not it might just hook to the tab on the bottom right. Look up your manual or a service video for your model to see how it’s supposed to be attached
