What kind of money is cerakoting reels going for these days? Like basic 1-2 colors?

I was quoted $400 here in Australia for a straight satin black on my Calais DC.

Interested to hear what it goes for in the US.

impressive! =D> =D> ... now how about the worm shaft? :lol: Files don't cut too well into plastic. That's an injection machines job ;) But it won't be long till people get jack about parts dwindling / prematurely pulled out of supply, till you'll start seeing home tinker's making these necessary pa...

Thanks guys.

After using this file for hours on end... Appreciate the ease of any automated cutting tool...

If a part isn't available and it's a simple part like that, give it a crack and rep...

Bought a crusty old Chronarch D7 for bugger all. Good guts and frame / side plates etc. Cleaned up well but realised that the access side panel (to the spool) it's shaft that it swings away on was corroded due to dissimilar reaction between it being aluminium and a stainless steel pin that acts on a...

A new form of "DECA" Daiwa Electric Cast Assist?

Crist may as well keep guessing

Imagine how amazing it would be with the ported spool and the line guide as far forward as it could have been. DaveJ If it's got a thiner spool and it has a shaped line guide which it has - shouldn't be too much of an issue for the line to peel off / swing side to side easily enough. The guide coul...

That's not a good look for Shimano.

I've actually bought some stock felt and am going to test felt washers in my BFS baitcasters...

Bought it in hi-vis pink and orange. May become trendy.

Ha ha what a pisser...

And two temporary tattoos of spiders...one for each bicep.

Could you just imagine rocking that out in a tournament... You'd be feared far and wide on the water.

Same reel featuring Magseal V2, and a slight colour pallet change?

Both fishing and golf it seems.

Waveing a metal / carbon stick around in a way that's conducting ground spike discharge is only asking for a zap.

There's a point where should pack up and go home with a storm. Sport can wait.

They should all be the same size and part swap out between the different size reels and spools

So perplexed... Spin for saltwater primarily, some spin reels for fresh also, but not as common. But I do love to use baitcasters solely for freshwater situations, technically superior to spin for that accuracy and fish-ability. Spin has its place especially if its windy. But nope both get a good ro...
