Just when you think you've updated to every mod. On a given reel....someone here will make/do another upgrade you haven't thought of which you "MUST HAVE" causing you to tear the reel down again ::) in short just leave them taken apart until the night before you intend to fish it.
luck is the residue of design.

This is why I stay with Newell because there is not too many improvements to make.
I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Bryan has drags for Newells. Alan has some handles and I think the 113h gears will fit some Newells so Alan C has you there. Their is never a reel that cannot be modded.

The chance you will strip the head of a fastener is directly proportional to the rarity of fasteners with that thread multiplied by the difficulty you will have tapping the material it screws into, all to the power of the depth below the surface that the fastener sits (thus preventing you dremeling a slot in the top or attacking it with vicegrips)

You may think what you herd me say is what I meant, but what I meant was not necessarily what you heard. (Confusion)

 You can't fix stupid... but you can muffle the sound with duct tape ;D
Not all fishing is done with rod and reel.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the Murphys law as far as reel repair and maintenance is concerned, But here it is. "What ever can go wrong will go wrong"

And another truism is. If it ain't broke make it better.

The odds of a job going wrong are directly proportional to the number of people watching....

My favorite. Why do you have so many reels you can only use one at a time. Reply why do you have so many shoe you can only use one pair at a time.
