Anyone that has carbon drags and catchs large fish should use cals or an equal good drag grease.

I need part # 11 drag brass nut on the drive shaft and part # 50 the drive shaft for a 300 ConQuest
who stocks parts ???? Thanks RICHARD W SCHMITZ email richard.schmitz @sbcglobal.net

Daiwa needs a 4.9:1 and a 5.4:1 on the Lexa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it's a Quantum but look at the EXO PT in 200 and 300, the 200 has a 5.3:1 gears, Dual Anti - Rev Pawls and is only 6.8oz and 10 B.Bearings, the 300 is 7.5oz, Dual Anti-Rev Pawls and has 6 Bearings and comes with a Power Handle....

Love the RED screws !!!!!!!!!

This reel must replace the B reels but to go from $229.99 for the B reels to $349.99 WOW
