GH100 Assembly Issue

Hi all My friend recently acquired a Fishband GH100 as his first finesse casting reel. He got line caught between the reel and frame, however he did not know to take the spool out and instead took the side plate off. Being a novice, I presume he dropped parts from the reel accidentally. I came to fi...

Hi all Having some troubles with changing the handles/drag stars on my Daiwas. I have noticed that on my Alphas which has an SLP drag star but stock swept handle, and TD Ito which has the stock star but aftermarket straight handle, the more the drag is tightened the looser the handle becomes, so it ...

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's

Alphas Appreciation Thread

Not sure if this has been done yet but let's appreciate all those Alphas' out there. Zondas, Sols, Laudas- anything alphas.
Such an under-rated platform I think, can be used for nearly anything.

Post yours, love to see!

Re: TD-Z Owners Guild

My first TD-Z, acquired a few months ago and now 95% happy with it. Would love a different colour line guide but sadly all the IP guides are all sold out at Tackle Trap. Looks great. More of the IP line guides are on order and will be updated as soon as they arrive. Great thread from a big TD-Z fan...

TD-Z drag issue

Hi all Having a bit of issues with my Daiwa TD-Z Ito and its drag. I'm new to reel upgrades and just upgraded the drag to Carbontex on the TD-Z. I re-assembled the reel, and now I have a problem where when the drag is tightened, the reel becomes stiff to wind. This stiffness increases as the drag is...
