Good question!
Recently fighting an 8# steelhead the drag did not feel real smooth and was a little herky-jerky.

I did see that but was a little nervous to remove it...........
Is that the key to opening this thing up?

Purchased carbontex drag washers for my chronarch mgl but a little hesitant with the install. I removed the 3 screws but could not get it apart... Anyone have any words of advice? I have searched for a video of a teardown without success. Its a JDM reel so the factory literature is in Japanese so of...

I've had my eye on these. I really dislike buying a rod and not being able to handle it before purchase. My most recent internet purchase ended up with a rod that just felt to light to me but from a very reputable maker (EDGE) that exchanged no questions asked at a local show so i ended up leaving w...

Thank you!

Any luck on this?

can anyone advise of well priced Aussie site to make a purchase?

Im trying to find a drag clicker to install in this reel and need the inside gear measurement. I have been asked by a maker of said clickers if the diameter is 35.7 MM. Does anyone know what this measurement is?

Daiko is no longer making rods. You would need to find a used or old stock one. Yes, it would be a search for a used one but it's hands down the best light BC rod I ever had the pleasure to fish with. I have searched to jupiter and back with no luck finding one of these. Please let me know if you h...

Anyone tried the Edge rods from Gary Loomis? I have a few friends that are telling me they are in a class by themselves and no longer use the Loomis rods.
I see they make a few finesse rods and are on sale at $230

Find a used Daiko BRSC-64L and never look back.

Quick check yields nothing.........

Are there any good american made rods for this reel? Seems like all I am finding are JDM rods for this light use.
