There is no line on the spool to slip. I went to spool line when I dicovered there was no drag pressure even when tightened up as far as I dared. So it went to Ian for repair, upgrades and tuning. Apparently someone had converted the drag into a single disc type dartanium drag. Ian said there were ...

What is the difference between the blue oil and the pink oil that comes with Daiwa reels? i have noticed no significant difference between the blue, red, or clear daiwa oils, that come in the tiny bottles with most high end daiwa reels. they all seem pretty fast, and to last for a pretty decent amo...

Normally I use a good marine grease on my reels for the gears and stuff. How many of you use your Cals or Shimano Star drag grease on gear parts of your reels. I have heard it's pretty good, but wasn't sure of the longevity. i personally do not like drag grease for anything other than drag...i have...

Feel like the spool not possible to lock inside the pinion gear, it's call slip or skip? Which parts faulty? Please refer to the ...

Can you see what I did here and do you think it will help with a wild spool?

FYI: the og Steez 100SHA set plate and magnet holder both use slightly thicker magnets. as well...

Hi guys, Will be going on a surprise fishing trip this weekend and planning to use my TDZ. I ordered a set of carbontex drags for it but it will arrive on Monday. I have a few extra carbontex washers for shimano casters and was thinking if they might work. I checked the thickness and looks like the...

1/16" drill bit and a #1 size extractor....the 1/16" drill bit is a little smaller than the recommended 3/32, so you do not have to drill in as far before the extractor will catch

i have also seen bent drive shaft retainer plates cause this issue
