Re: Centrifugal Brake Question

Im gonna have to stand on the other side of the fence on this one. I clean my brake drums with cleaner solvant, then a drop of oil on a foam q-tip and swipe the drum with it. The reason I do this is that it cuts down the raw friction of the brakes on the drum and prolongs the life of the parts. Fri...

Re: What kind of rod for swim baits?

The Powell Spook and Trap rod should work fine. Rated 3/8 to 1 oz. I have thrown baits over that rating comfortably with mine. :D

Re: Gen 3 stx with boca os

The G2 Premiers have aluminum gears were as the G2 STX have bronze gears which I find to be much smoother. Not sure what the G3's have.

Re: Conquest 51 falling out of favor?

The CQ 50 is one of my all time favorites and as stated built like a fine watch. Comfortable to palm, great caster,super smooth and with an all around gear ratio. I use mine for anything from small to medium cranks, spinnerbaits, worming and topwater. :D

Re: Smoothness - impossible to be found?

I have bronze 6.4:1 gears in my Core 50 and its way smoother than the 7.1 aluminum gears.smooth as butter :D
Come to think of it all my reels with aluminum gears I replaced to bronze and it made a huge differance in smoothness. :D

Re: Best casting Daiwa reel?

I just purchased a TD-Z 100M from Robert here on the forum. It has upgraded bearings, drag and the upgraded long cast spool. I put some sunline 12 lb floro on it and was shocked at the casting distance this past Saturday. I was throwing a 1/2 ounce rattle trap on a GL2 852 rod. No backlashes and un...
