Is it the fibre or plastic (white) clip on blocks you need?

Reality is most brake blocks will work the later style white clip in clip out though are a different system and have a different break block mount.
I have daiwa plastic brake blocks in my Shimanos and they are well settled!

You are probably looking though for these;

That is what I would rather do Phill not into buying from ebay are you able to source these brake blocks that match the part number I posted for me at all. Failing that I will consider just upgrading the reel to another overhead but would like to try and get the replacement brake blocks as a cheaper option first.

The brake blocks in my reel are the flat rectangular ones not the round ones

If blocks from older 7000 will fit I will have a couple I could spare. I'm away at the moment can look when I get home- about a week. Or consider fitting a magnet brake easy to adjust when fishing.

I am going to put the reel on trade me and buy a new reel with a magnetic casting brake. The reel is old and it is getting harder to get new parts so time to upgrade it to either a penn squall 15 or okuma cortez 5.
