Great job, I'm really digging that goldfish and cam craw!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that the Caenan had a non-bearing supported (pre "super-free" design) pinion gear. I would have a hard time believing that Shimano would regress to the 200-B level of sophistication for the new Curado.

Vidar, that is SEXY!

Cool Video. Are those golden dorado? They look like a lot of fun.

The bass are starting to spawn on Table Rock right now. Some have already spawned. Pro Blue, Pro Green & Elegy Bone in the clearer water. Stardust Shad & Table Rock Special (it's no mere coincidence) in the more stained arms. Do not rule out the bigger Magnum 110. Cosmic Back has been very popular a...

Prism Shad, Ehrler's Edge, Morning Dawn

I believe the bearings on the palm plate and under the spool tension cap are 3 X 10 X 4
The bearing on the spool shaft is 5 X 11 X 4

This works for Zillion, Sol, and Fuego baitcasting reels and probably several others

As I hear from our other friends, I will update this post.

Thanks Cal.
