That's how it works. That spigot connection is less likely to twist out of alignment than the traditional 'north american ' type. At least that's my experience.

Anyone own this baitcaster? Any thoughts? Is it acceptable for bass fishing,casting spinnerbaits,cranks,etc.?

Has anyone tried doing this? If so, what bearing did you use in the upgrade on the spool shaft? Is it an improvement over the stock bearing that the slp and rcs spools originally have installed on them? I am going to try HH BFS AIR 1030 bearing on some spool shafts.

I have a 7.9:1 , and use it for buzzbaits. It bombs 'em.

What gear ratio did you get?
I've got the 7:1 on a steez frog rod.
Perfect match and really bombs a frog.

You mean 7.9:1 , right?

that is my father, my hero, and the best fisherman I know. he basically uses senkos and craw imitations on his spinning tackle. constantly reminds the rest of us how easy fishing "can be" if you want it to be :) Easy , yes, but not nearly as fun as spending thousands of dollars on rods,reels, tackl...

Can someone please tell me the difference. For example, I have steez sv spools that say ize factory on them ,knobs that say slp on them.Thanks.

you will need a 3X10x4 bearing for the spool. The reasoning behind the smaller diameter shaft and sleeve is to match bearing sizes as close as possible to lessen imbalance between the bearings. with shaft sizes the same both ends and similar sized bearings the balls in the bearings move at similar ...

Question ,does anyone on this forum know if the bearing and the sleeve can be replaced? I attempted to use the bearing from my sunburst zonda spool, but it is thinner than the SV spool bearing and sleeve together. What is the purpose of the sleeve and why is it necessary? Can I just swap it out for ...

I was also looking at the Tatula HD 100mm light gun metal grey. Yeah, sitting here looking at the reel, definitely light to medium grey. That's the handle I have on all my TDZ's, TD-ITO's and red and orange pixys . Looks good in my opinion, otherwise I wouldn't have put them on. \:D/ Did you need a...

The 100mm gunmetal color tatula handle will fit. You will not be able to back off the drag tension completely, but enough to stop any damage to the drag washers when the reel is not in use. That handle is on my tdz's, TD itos, red and orange pixys .

Don't spool 80 yards of braid, that's 240 feet. You'll never cast that far. A 150yd spool of line, using 150 feet lets you do 3 reel spools. No waste. That's plenty for bass fishing. I don't think that you can go wrong with TCB8, Samarai , Smackdown . Even the cheaper Jbraid and 832 are decent braid...
