Nice! Curious how the 1516 spool runs in HLC 1516? I didn't have a good luck with running a 100 spool from US zillion tw 100 in my HLC 1516 while i still had it. It casted fine but there seemed to some play with pinion gear, it would make whining noise when reeling in and started leaving blurs on pinion gear. I suspected HLC pinion was a bit longer to accommodate the shorter shaft of HLC spool but never confirmed it. May be the jdm 1516 and HLC 1516 have the same shaft length?

Man... I had both apart the other day and didn’t even pay attention to the gears other than cleaning and lubing them. I haven’t thrown them around yet, but if I notice something odd I’ll get back to you. I’m curious now also.4g63power wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 7:22 pmNice! Curious how the 1516 spool runs in HLC 1516?

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
Nearing completion of my first Alphas tune and have a new appreciation gig HOW deep the “modding rabbit-hole” can go on certain models....Alphas takes the cake for me so far!!!...
Original “Alphas 103” was given the “‘saurus“ treatment....and for pretty obvious reasons has now been crowned the “Alphas LSD”.
It’s out there and maybe a bit OTT!!!.....but, it’s like eating Pringles....”one you pop you can’t stop!” Lol

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
Mate this is one sexy looking reel!!!!.....although I am biased......here’s mine lolWinstondry wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 7:24 amThanks! I believe it's a Calfish paint job, it was also tuned and polished originally at TT before I bought it from it's previous owner. It's a really unique color as the paint can appear purlple, to blue ,to reddish depending on the angle you're looking at it from. I've since replaced the red brake knob and lock washer shown in the last 2 photos. Oh yeah, and the nose piece too.Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:16 pm
I really dig that Alphas. Blue is my jam - looks similar to my Steez. Who painted it?
Here are a couple pics to show the different colors it can appear as.
...should set them up for a play date!

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
This just reinforces my Alphas bias. Clearly they are the best reels on the face of the planet. It's is always some cherished Alphas that gets the custom treatment like that.
