but on a daiwa there is a steel disk that sits between the bottom of the drag stack and the main gear, so there is no real contact between drag washers and the gear itself. does polishing the teeth actually make the retrieve smoother? i know when i tuned my luna, i just made sure to polish the angle...

how is it that it can be repaired if the part cannot be sourced? i contacted the servicemen and they informed me that they could not find the part, due to it no longer being manufactured. i service my reels because to me they are like my car i want to know exactly what is going on, and will fix it m...

the sharks are harmless, the sea lions though.

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u108/Ooliebird/sand.jpg i launched from kellogg street today in hopes of getting into the sandbass action, and was not disappointed. the mission was to hit the bait barge, a long ways away from any launch point that non navy float tubers have access to. today i wa...
