Hmmmmmm, don´t know.........a little birdie told me so.

I´ve been reading that tutorial on upgrading the drag in the Curado 200, the question is: do I really need to do it ? :-k , that´s something I have to consult with the pillow, the drag on the 3 ones I´ve got is just fine......

Thanks for teh comments guys. Look for more to come. We will expand a little bit about things like why you would even want to upgrade your drags...but these are not reviews, just rather tutorials.

Glad you guys like them, we will be expanding into enthusiast upgrades too.

TT states in the tutorial "Throw a thick coat of drag grease on both Carbontex washers...." probably a silly question but.....Is it Ok to use Hot Sauce reel grease?
Thanks..

Alan, Zander

Remarkable idea, magnificent incarnation. Thanks!
I hope, materials, visually step-by-step indicating service, modernization and repair of such reels, as popular Shimano's, Daiwa's etc shortly will appear.

We have a lot of starting amateurs of baitcasting. For them it - as honey. But English language possess not all. Therefore I ask of your admittance to translate and to hang out these materials (only these materials) on the site - http://vlad.mi.ru .
The references to the protosource and writer, accuracy while translating I guarantee. And any critical remarks :).
If it is undesirable - any offences.

Yours faithfully - Vladimir
