Has anyone got into their black Ryoga 1520?
All I see are 2 screws, one philips on the inside behind the spool and one hex one the outside on the handle side. I removed them and tried to open it but didn’t want to pry too much, got scared and put it back!
Should I try again and pry more? Any info would be appreciated. Did I miss something?? Two (different) screws seems odd and not enough to hold the reel together. Tried Google but couldn’t find anything.

I have not opened mine yet, and it is not near me at the moment.
Have you tried to remove the non-handle side plate and spool - some times you find extra screws on the inside of the handle side plate (e.g. Shimano exsence) that you need to remove before the reel will fully open.

Yup! You are right.
There is a long screw. Surprised I missed it! Thanks.

Yeah, just found it myself after looking for a minute or two…not obvious!
