Bantam1 wrote:There is a pocket in the frame for those parts. They are there to help with tension on the side plate. From what I have seen some reels have this and others do not. I believe it is based on tolerances, so if the side plate fits tightly it may not need these parts.
Thank you,Bantam.

Re: Where are the part number 4033 4034?

It does exist in this review for chronarch E5 201 https://mulinete.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/shimano-chronarch-e/ As you can see in this picture. The small round piece on the far right. https://mulinete.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/shimano_chronarch_201e5_05.jpg I wonder where is it on the frame?

Re: Exsense Spinning Reel

IMHO. It is not only about casting,reeling,fighting the fish,but also joy and taste while fishing. Many after market tune up handles ,spools,knobs are not as good as stock one. Some of them are even heavier! It is something about fashion. I can fish trout,barramundi,snakehead with only one 6.3ft spi...

Re: Am I too obsessed?

I only assist with North America. I wish I could offer assistance to you. I think Shimano Singapore covers Thailand, they would be the office to contact for help with this. I could be wrong. I have not seen this issue here, nor have we had complaints. I suggest contacting the Singapore office and s...

Re: Vanquish 12 auto switch to reverse?

First just disassemble your reel. Clean the anti-reverse bearing with wd-40 contact cleaner. Spray it in the AR bearing while you put the AR sleeve in and turn it in its normal position That would solve the problem because sometime the grease just invaded the bearing. After cleaning just put one or ...

Am I too obsessed?

After the stradic fk incident. My friend asked to buy that fk from me,so I sold it to him. And I decided to buy a stradic ci4+ to replace it. Because I believed the higher price means the better. After purchased I gave a close inspection to this tiny reel. I found something strange. As you can see i...
