SKU: 30.04.26 TIV NM AFRP Brand: ACADEMY Size: 4 INCH Style: PLASTIC Condition: Pre-owned- Good Material: Plastic EAN: Not Applicable ISBN: Not Applicable The Black Academy No. 400 is a classic Australian-made centre pin (drum) reel popular from the 1970s. Known for its 4-inch drum and ABS plastic construction, it was designed for versatile use in both fresh and saltwater. Spare Parts List :- Replacement parts for vintage Academy reels are typically sourced through specialty vintage tackle shops like ReelMan Australia or community marketplaces like eBay. Key components of the No. 400 include: Main Housing & Spool :- 4-inch standard black A.B.S. plastic drum with a 1 1/8" width. Handle Assembly :- Dual white or black plastic handle knobs with brass or chromium-plated fittings. Line Guide :- Brass-plated revolving guide. Backing Plate :- Features a cast brass "T strap" back and a 4 1/8" diameter. Check Mechanism :- Includes a red optional check lever (ratchet) to prevent free-spooling. Spindle & Hardware: Chromium-plated metal fittings and spindle bolts. Hand Orientation (R/L Hand) :- The Academy No. 400 is generally considered ambidextrous because it is a simple centerpin reel. Unlike modern baitcasters, you can typically use it for right or left-hand retrieve depending on how you mount it to the rod and wind the line. To Switch Sides :- On this specific vintage model, you typically do not need to flip internal gears. You simply rotate the reel 180 degrees on the rod seat and ensure the line is spooled so it feeds off the top or bottom as per your preference. Check Lever :- Note that the optional check (clicker) may sound different or offer different resistance depending on the winding direction. If you need specific replacement screws or springs, you may find compatible hardware at BlakDog Tackle or via the Abu Garcia Spare Parts service for general vintage fittings.
