DIY cone level wind

Post by LowRange » Tue Aug 09, 2022 9:38 am

Stream angler sells the cones. Just have to be willing to hack up a spare level wind to do it. I have some concerns about the durability.

Interesting, I know Shimano has done this on certain reels in times past. Please report back if there are any performance gains.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I'll have to give it a try on my Lexa 300.

Adding Slazmo's thread to this one. He already has done this.
