Hi,

Long time lurker here. My name is Andrew and I like to upgrade spinning reels. So far, the only finished project I have done has been making a floating shaft upgrade for the Daiwa BG. I made a thread about it in SOL if you read that forum. I've also found this forum's discussion on drags really useful as I've been trying to build a fly reel for tuna.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Its great to be talking with guys with so much experience and ingenuity. Have you guys ever had a modification you made get implemented in a manufacturers reel? My main projects are focused on putting a floating shaft on reels and sealing them, and I'm hoping that maybe manufacturers will see it and consider putting their higher-end features into cheaper reels. At least the ones that don't cost that much money. Am I allowed to link other forums in this forum? I am trying to make a video explaining myself but I haven't gotten the time to edit it. How do you post pictures here? oK NVM it worked

Andrew,
Not sure what's allowed or not, but I found your Daiwa BG upgrade part on Amazon and already ordered one. I'll check with the Moderators before I post, but plan on putting a few pics up.....looks like a great idea.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
