Who knows how magnetic brake is adjusted in new SS Air TW? Is it by moving magnet ring towards inductor? Or is there some new variation of rotating magnet ring (+magnets in a plamingplate)?

Tested quickly Tsurinoya Dexterity II C632UL . It was after sunset and temperature was sub 0 and I wasn’t having clear casting area. So there was challenges in testing. And moreover to that I was using 0.25 mm Nylon (I don’t like nylon lines, but in freezing conditions those are the only choise). An...

What might be the point?

I think the point is to make the best Ultralight casting reel.

I thought that there is just sv Boost, but this SS Air seems complete new design. Inductor cup is obviously orientated to different direction, and magnet ring will go inside to spool.

Great article! So, low profile (bass) reels are designed for palming grip! Is there any other advantages in low profile reels than those are much better in palming grip than most round reels?

Cork spool adaptors would be very much wellcomed in my opinion. It would be nice to adjust spool volume. Cork is much lighter than nylon.

Make me wonder, if those old adapters compare to full braid backing which one is heavier or add more rotational mass to spool? Shallow spool is one thing but BFS spool is supposed to be as light as possible, correct? Those old fillers are hollow and because of that those are some amount lighter tha...

Yes. Those Abu spool fillers are stiff rubber or sticky plastic. Those grips goodly to spool. Home made fillers should installed with two sides adhesive tape.

I know this is an odd question to ask. I remember many years ago, TT had an article to make a shallow spool from a standard casting spool. I can't find that article now,. Is there a way to do this or is it even possible without adding too much additional weight to the spool? I haven't read such art...

The alcohol being referenced to serve as a thinner for TSI321 is isopropyl alcohol Thanks! That helps a lot! I think I can get 99+% Isopropyl easily! Yes, cleaning reel parts acetone, I have always small glass jar with acetone ready for that :) Small ultrasonic cleaner might also be worth of buying.

It seems like seller has horrible difficulties in shipping the rod. First order hi didn't send and my order cancelled so I ordered again and it's much likely hi still won't send it...I'm pretty disappointed for using my time to search rod and waiting for a weeks and still hi don't send it.... After ...

Thanks. But I already have TSI 321. Now I only have alcohol problem

And issue of it is our regime in Finland, which is scared of that somebody drinks too strong alcohol and gets too high

What, no love for Super Lube synthetic anymore ? That & TSI 321 oil been doing right by me for years now. I think that I have a couple of tubes of Super Lube and a few ounces of TS 321 that you can have :lol: TSI is awesome. Try this out; 8 parts 99% alcohol, 1 part TSI. Dip your spool bearings, dr...

What was the alcohol for TSI 321? In my country I think I can't get pure enough medical alcohol, because in here we just can't buy too strong ethanol :) . But for laboratory use I think I could order for example this: https://www.laboratoriumdiscounter.nl/en/benzyl-alcohol-995-pure.html?gclid=CjwKC...
