I would be lying if I said anything
I brought some parts recently and will have to ask. There is no groves inside so I didn’t want to put it on a IS79 body that I’m about to work on. Found some stuff underneath the couch including Megabass knobs.
But I’ll ask the person I purchased the star drag from if they know.
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible

Those stars were sold on ebay several years back, along with a matching cc cap. They also came in silver and orange.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I believe they're made in Korea. I've seen some Korean videos where they were tuning their reels with it. Most likely a microbrand sold locally.

I'd love to see the difference between the stock Airy spool and the KTF. Would either of you be willing to snap a few shots for me? Thanks in advance! :big grin:

From outside both spools look the same. The difference is in weight and the IXA ceramic bearings on the KTF spool

Indeed it's a "rare gem" but unfortunately for me, because I'm used to fish left hand reels, KTF made this one only in right hand retrieve :crying: .

Oh, I see. I always thought KTF did some porting to the spool to reduce weight. Thanks for the pictures!
