If anyone is interested

Post by GuyN916 » Mon Feb 14, 2022 2:15 pm

I hate the stock screws that come on fishing reels, especially the slotted screw heads. I found these on amazon, they are stainless button heads that fit most reels. I've replaced all my frame screws with these. They take a 1.5mm allen wrench. They will save you from getting scratches on your reels.

Excellent!

Do you recall which sized screw fit your Steez?

A couple of my JDM Daiwa's have these type of screws. Get yourself some Wiha drivers with the rotating end and use the V in your thumb as a guide and you won't ever scratch a reel. Years of tuning reels taught me to use my thumb on all screws. I assembled a lot of Tiburon frames on horrible quality control Penn reels back in the day with marginal screwdrivers. Man I wish that I had better screws and drivers back in the day! ](*,) Those saltwater frames be havin a ton of screws!!!
