Drag Star modification
Drag Star modification
Im looking to take the bottom star and use it on a reel that takes the top star with the grove cut in it.
Is this possible or not?
If so whats your approach ?

Re: Drag Star modification
There is a plate that fits into the grove on the top star between the star and handle. Just dont use that plate. I think that plate is just to reduce the appearance of a gap between the handle and star when the drag is locked down.

Re: Drag Star modification
Look for the TD-Z handle washers, it's a thin version of the spacer that you're talking about, just without the shoulder that fits into that groove. That will buffer been the handle and the step on the driveshaft.

Re: Drag Star modification
Most of the reels with the nut and spring underneath have extra length on the drive shaft to accommodate it. Most reels that come with a threaded star won't have enough shaft length to allow proper drag adjustment.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

It takes this
Re: Drag Star modification
Correct
However what I was experimenting with was putting a different star on a reel like that which that piece would be obsolete

All good man

Took her to the gym and used the massage chairs.
I thought it was a great idea
