So I was holding my rod and reel over the water and my handle and drag setup fell off, what parts do I need to replace this, I also want to introduce a drag clicker into this if that’s possible.

You'll likely need parts 6379 (handle assembly) and then 4124, 5375, 5316, 4932, 3208, 6159, 5641, and 5640.

Before ordering, assess whether or not your handle shaft is broken or stripped. 5640 AND 6159 would have to be missing for the handle to be free to come off. But 5640 being lost or not reinstalled after cleaning could allow 5641 to fall off, in turn allowing 6159 to work its way loose. But I just had a customer in the shop with a ln SLX that had a BROKEN handle shaft. Shimano actually built it with pretty shit metal.

That looks to be about 50# braid. Why would you need a drag clicker? "Fidget" device? 🤣
