I'll try to help, no promises. Can you post pics and give me the model # of the reel? pics of the bearings that are remaining would help to know what to look for.
Have you called Gander to see if you could order parts?

Dude just get this cheap spinning reel,10bucks dude you can't beat that,I'm not trying to advertise either[sly]P.S.Here, look proof I use it, heres a carp I caught with it,you know what they say ,the proof is in the pudding.I love this reel,got it in Cali on my last vacation and still use it,gonna get another when mine finally falls apart,it outlasted any baitcaster I've ever used.I had 4lb on it,now have10lb,and used it to catch nice gator trout at the bay,2lb 13 ounce,which is my personal best,pic comming soon.
Good luck finding that bearing,how the heck did you loose it,it must be on the ground somewere lol..P.S.I only spend top dollar on my line and have only one or two fancy rods,thats my cheap $8 durango rod with an "extended but"I added an extension. I used the but end of another durango rod,Shakespear,sorry for advertising,but its what I rerally use..ok

I had to open the side of it to clear a backlash. and it dissappeared. searched for a good 30 mins. hard to find a bearing that small in grass. Also i want to use a baitcaster, so i can get good with it. I have a spinning combo that will last for now but i seem to enjoying using the baitcaster more. I just dont want to buy a whole new reel if i dont have to. plus i dont want to spend money on a bearing that wont fit. Also i will look up the model number when i get home. Im on a school computer lol

hey edgy my dad has two of those old reels ..
He said I can come over to Memphis and see him and he will give them to me.
Private message me and I will send you both of those reels. for free.
I don't want them. My dad has alot of old school stuff.
He was in the 1978 bassmasters classic in Mississippi ...
His only masters back then.
I used to get Strike King lures free back then as a kid in the 70's to test.
If you want those two reels I'll go see my old man and get them.
PaulPro gave me a rod from bass pro shops from his winning the bass contest here last year and the second eye broke on valley girl last week.
Yea a huge bass broke the second ring .. but broke the rod at that point too.
That's the second good rod broke at that pond on that bass.
Yea Paulpro I didn't say nothing yet about it. But that rod you sent me broke on Valleygirl.
I hook that bass so often I need real PRO GEAR to bring that bass in.
she keeps breaking my stuff.

she broke my skeet reese rod I won the year before you Paulpro ... she has broke two of my best rods.
I'm not a newbie fisherman. I set my drag right I set everything right.
I am using braid right now at that pond because I know she is up close pre spawning.
she broke that bass pro shop rod too Paulpro.
I am going to Memphis tomorrow to take my brother to the bus station back to Alabama and have already called bass pro shops and they are going to replace it.
told you ... valley girl is a killer.. not just a line breaker .. a pole breaker.

that bass is a godess.... even letting her strip off line ... don't matter you get her near the shore and she just flies away and your lines breaks or she breaks your rod.
told you paul and everyone. she won't be taken easy.
She broke my skeet reese rod I won the year before you Paulpro. Now she broke the rod you gave me for christmas.
but thankfully I called bass pro shops and can get that one replaced.
while I go to memphis..
I'm going to to take the skeet reese one too it was from there.
Hope I can get them both replaced
and get this high school kid the reels from my dad.

don't even want to hear about drag ...
I am using braid on her now and try to tire her out.. get that 15+ bass near shore and put the drag tight because you think you have wore her out ..
ROD IS BROKE.
you guys try to catch this 15lb bass...
I have hooked her 5 times now.
3 times broken line.. got over that .. now fight her with braid...
2 broken rods.
....
I think this bass might be the world record.
not just the state record.
