Tackle Trap Reel Repair

[DirtyD64]

Just a simple question, generally how long does it take to get a non warrantied reel repaired? I sent in a Steez A and had called to check the status but I feel bad to continue bothering them, I know they are busy and I know they do great work along with being a great retailer in general. Just curious if anyone had estimated time of return. Thanks.

if you check their web site under reel repair it gives an estimated time for them to be repaired. I have used them a couple of times and it usually a bit longer. It was worth the wait. Waiting for parts now a days can be a problem for all industries.

I just unboxed my Daiwa parts order, and will have your reel back together no later than mid morning. Been waiting about 3 weeks on parts to get here. My sincerest apologies.

Awesome guys to deal with. They do very good work

Let us know what has happened to the tick.

I removed the gears on my steez, and decided to polish them. The tick is completely gone now, but they became buzzy under load and nowhere near as smooth as they were probably overpolished or something.

probably overpolished or something.

Probably took too much product away.

Hey no need to apologize, I am just thankful you helped me with a JDM reel. Daiwa offered to, but it could have been forever. My key concern with this reel was to address the issue, then decide whether to repair and keep or sell depending on what it was, thanks again, no need to ever apologize, you guys do great work.

Have you polished gears before? Any suggestions on the polishing compound? I used the Mother's Polish at the lowest rpm on my rotary tool, and lets just say i messed it up

I've washed gears and subsequently brushed them with a light polish and old tooth brush to brighten them, however not used a rotary tool on gears per se, if I did in the past it was on heavily corroded brass.

Not sure what the benefit is for polishing - a good grease is more than enough to keep them going.

I tried polishing an older Tatula gears... used the brass polish from walmart and the soft head on a rotary tool... fluff and fabric strings went everywhere. Decided after that to just bruss away old grit and dirt then put new grease. I used a denture brush and new shimano grease on my Chronarch MGL and it helped.

Will update here when I figure out the issue, as of now I recieved an insurance settlement and will probably use for another reel, regardless of selling or fixing the Steez A.
