Some of you may remember me asking questions and acquiring this reel. I have had every thing I can think about done to it and have had just about every spool in it from the 1012 ,1016, IS spools, original spool etc. All spools were tuned and I just never got that factor with this reel. When I thought I had made it to the place where I wanted this reel to be i was utterly disappointed and considered selling it for a very long time. I just could not understand how a reel that had such a good review and accolades be a disappointment even after all this money I threw at it.. Last time I thought I had it figured out, i'd hear the line trip over itself trying to come off the spool even with different size pinion shafts.. I just didnt care for the reel..
I am happy to say that with an TD-X 103p spool and zpi bearing added. I am elated to say FINALLY......it has happened
7.2:1 gears Spinnerbait and whatever I choose on the old IMX 843 rod. I never would have guessed it..So if you are like me and are at your wits end with a reel, do the unimaginable... The spool weighed in at .450 oz so it wasn't too heavy but performs great.
