Have a shakespeare synergy steel titanium 4000ti that has only been used a few times usually just rides in boat because I always forget to push the button, so is basically new. Took line off to replace with lighter line but now I can not get the cover off any ideas? Any buddy want to trade for some safety slides or a tip or two? Or just give me an idea on removing the cover.:headbang::cf:

Cover turns but does not come off, thus the problem.

If thats the case wont be getting another it was only in the boat 3 times and shoot maybe 20 times. Hope my new Zebco 808 magnum holds up better.

I almost think I remember that same thing happening to me.The threads are pretty fine,and "chinsy",I think what happened was ,I bottomed out.....dont get to say that very often....meaning It went past the last thread,try and pull up at the same time you are twisting,I think once I got it of,it was O.K. just couldnt tighten it all the way.

Anyone interested in the 4000ti for parts or to try and get apart I can get it so I give up. Guess I'll stick with a retriever.

Never give up! Years ago, I had a 1/2" Drill that refused my best efforts to take apart. Tried everything I could think of. Finally went to the Friendly Persuasion Tool - the old Sledge Hammer. Once I had it in pieces, I found a "Label" had been hiding a screw which kept it from coming open - but, it did come open!!!

kuger, sent you a pm.

The plastic insert inside the metal cap is slipping, you will have to drill a couple of small holes thru the cover, being sure to clear the spool and insert 2 pins or drill bits and turn with those, that should get it off, but then you will need to replace the cover.
