Re: All new steez sv tw

The older Air reels had the 32mm spools (alphas air, t3 air, ss air). Wonder if their spools are compatible with the new steez.

Re: 34mm Mag Z Boost Spool Now Available

I don't understand the concept of this. A standard magz spool, in most cases, is already a long caster. They have stiff springs that retract the inductor reasonably quickly, allowing you to bomb baits pretty far. By having a two stage braking force, the 2nd spring is so stiff that the spool might be...

The Daiwa 21 Alphas SV TW 800 is a sweet little reel built like a mini Panzer, you can swing both ratio's on Amazon for the price of one pixy.

Pixy does have a cult following.
The cult that follows it expects colors and style. This is a fake pixy [-(

Re: Wanees decal kits

I wonder if they peel off easily. Especially when being baked under the sun.

Re: Wanees decal kits

The decals may be good on those beater reels with paint chips and dings that look like they have been drug behind a car on a gravel road. A much cheaper alternative to a new paint job or cerakote. I'd say its pretty good for new reels as well. If you have a nos td ito that you'd like to use, these ...

Re: Wanees decal kits

Very interesting. I'm not sure that I want my reels to look like an engraved shotgun, but those look thick enough to provide some protection. There are a ton of different colors and textures. And i am pretty sure that these were originally introduced to protect your reel from scratches since these ...

Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner

Would be nice if you could post a short vid. Because i have been doing this for a while now, and unless the bearing wasn't in great shape to begin with, after an ultra sonic bath, it shouldn't become much worse than it was.

Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner

I use them all the time, and even had the exact same ultrasonic cleaner that you have. After you pull them out of a cleaner, some do feel rougher than they should be (not all of them, tho. bunch of my hedgehog and zpi bearings are perfectly smooth and silent after a bath). But after use, the roughne...

Re: Reel Dress Up Parts?

All my reels have custom stuff on them. Handle and knobs is the minimum. And you can get good deals on ebay, or order directly from Japan. Quality stuff made in Japan is of course much more expensive than some no name brands on Ali, tho.

What kind of a sane person uses a quality carbon handle with that kind of nut retainers? :laugh1: It looks like one of those cheap chinease handles that sort of look like an RCS carbon. Still the plastic nut retainer is dumb. I bet Daiwa got a lot of negative feedback from the US about the colored ...
