The all brass looks like a gold watch. The other two main gears look wet.
The pinions all glow!

Depending on the gear makeup or surface coating or hardening process.
It may or may not get "bright"
It will polish well..but it will look like it's wet...instead of being a mirror finish.

I don’t think the micro module gears make reels much smoother, however they do kind of change the feel a bit. The best way to explain it is that it changes the pitch of the reel a bit. You still feel gears, but there’s a different, less gritty resonance there
Anodizing gives a hardened, smooth, flat surface. Polishing the gears will likely remove or compromise the micro-layer of hard anodization.
Anodising gives a form of lubrication - hence Tuffram etc.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 10:01 amAnodizing gives a hardened, smooth, flat surface. Polishing the gears will likely remove or compromise the micro-layer of hard anodization.
