    Had a reel with loose spool tension knob. Put a couple wraps of Teflon pipe tape on threads and replaced cap. Tightened it up nicely. Keep tape in tackle box now.

    I also just ordered up one of these based on your review here.
    Thank you for doing this.
    I can't wait 2 get it, lol!

      Ok. It came in. 1st impressions are good. Feels solid. Casts light lures well. But she screams pretty loud when I cast and the lever for side plate removal is near impossible to access while it's on the rod.
      Thanks for the video. I'd buy it again.

    Just taken delivery of this reel and another one as a gift for a friend. There seems to be a inherent problem with the drag adjustment. The spool on one reel is really hard to I'll line off when the drag star is backed off all the way, and not much different when turned up either. The other one is not quite as bad. How is the reel you have got? Anyone else had problems??

    I've got this reel and I must say I was very impressed with it. Anyone with BFS experience will have absolutely no problems casting with this reel or handling fish. I honestly wish this came out before I bought the zephyr and the sabre 150. All are great reels for the money, but this reel here is brilliant for what it is.

  • @shadybanks8625
    @shadybanks8625 Před 2 lety +1

    Have you ever compared the difference of using braid for backing compared to mono or fluoro? Or how much spool weights can change using braid vs others?

    • @Scarbosul
      @Scarbosul Před 2 lety

      It's not a good idea to use braid as backing as it can rotate on the spool (not enough friction against spool). This was happening to me for a while and I thought my drag wasn't working.

  • @kevvybee5517
    @kevvybee5517 Před 2 lety

    Hi. Just ordered one of these based on your review. Just to see how a reel for this cost performs. I have been trying to find out from the seller the size of the spool and brake plate bearings, but to no avail. I wanted to get some ceramic bearings before I got the reel, so, I hope you will be able to tell me. Great channel and content by the way. Always interesting. Keep up the good work. 👍👍

    • @THEREELTEST
      @THEREELTEST  Před 2 lety +1

      the palm side bearing looks to be 3-10-4 but the spool bearing is not the typical 5-11-4. It looks to be the same as the spool bearing of the GH100 that helps.

  • @addictedtolures
    @addictedtolures Před rokem

    I got mine 2 days ago and spooled it up with 6lb 4x braid. I usually get around 30 yards on a 5g jighead with a .5g softbait and around 20 meters on a 5g sinking minnow. Would the cast distance improve using the same lures if I switch the line up with 4lb or 6lb mono? I always have this fear of breaking the line everytime I cast on very light mono. Thanks!

    • @vauzt1859
      @vauzt1859 Před rokem

      try to avoid mono as main line, especially for bfs. line memory will be a nightmare to deal with and it will never out cast braid line of the same poundage
