Best @ Cleaning/Tuning Shimano JDM Reels

Post by Lowdog » Tue Jul 25, 2017 8:53 am

I have 2 Conquest 50s and 1 Metanium Mg7 that need some work. The 50s are still as smooth as butter but won't cast as far as they once did. The Mg7 casts great but grinds when under pressure. I have taken all apart, cleaned and put together properly in hopes I could figure it out but to no avail. Who do you you guys recommend?

Sounds like your spool bearings are shot or is there any build up of junk along the edge of the spool?

CQ's need spool bearings, MG7 needs gears or a pinion bearing.

Sounds like it's time for a Supertune.
Send them off to The Trap.
