awww crap
Went fishing yesterday and on a cast the sideplate on my Revo Priemere flew off and into the water. I would have went in after it but the bottom is so soft I would have sunk to my knees. Also the water was dirty and I couldn't see it. I fished around for it with a crankbait but no luck. I'll have to order a new one. I guess I got paid back for makin fun of Nofear the other day.

Now that will put a damper on things!!! Good lesson learned though for all of us. Keep the plate screws tight. Hope you can get a replacement cover soon.

That's a bummer. But how did it come off so easily? I'm not too familiar with Abu LP reels so forgive my ignorance.

Bassinbandit had this happen with a Quantum. He called and ordered a new side plate, when it came they had sent a brand new reel.

Thanks Reb. That's just about how I sounded. E-mailed Abu. They responded saying it would cost about $20 for part and shipping. The bad news is it's not available until sometime in August. Might be looking for a decent reel to go on the gloomis crank rod.
