Sometimes frames and sideplates do show up on eBay with badges intact. It just takes time and perseverance...

More perseverance than anything. I am tempted to Epoxy mine on my collection.
The dreaded Sealine Badges. Ugh!

Thanks guys, I'll keep looking. Just horsed up a 120 lb Goliath with it last weekend, so it doesn't need badges to work.  :)

120lb

I love this reel for deep drops
I get to the surface Last but with a smile on my face`. Will be even better when I sort out the handle :D

Today I scored (2) 600H's of the silver framed model. Both in nice shape, save the drag washer upgrade I need to do. After the 900H's I tore apart with stainless everything, I was a bit surprised to see that one of these reels has a bronze set plate. 

So I need to order a sleeve, drags & metals,  and I'm going to get arms from Adam, and knobs from the boss.

I have to say though, every time I pull a Daiwa apart the sheer gear size and strength amazes me.

So I'm officially a shark fisherman next spring.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

I have succumb to epoxy the badges in as they always seem to fall out and rubber cement just doesn't hold well anymore once the surface gets dirty and pitted.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

I have a few insert drag kits for the 600H left, and the 900H ones are in the works.  I tested the max drag on my 600H at over 50 lbs max, but where it really shined was how smooth it was at 30-35 lbs.

Adam, I'm going to be upgrading these, starting with the offset arms you make.

I just haven't confirmed the 5/0 Kolekar handle with the countersink stem end is still available, and the hole size needed to fit said arm.  I want to get it right so I'm not drilling on your fine product. 

I'm really keeping my eyes out for SS gear sleeves before I go beyond a basic CF upgrade.

Thanks for all you're doing.

Randy,
The handles are available. They come straight from the Bosu.
Send him a PM and ask for 5/0 Kokelar with the 5/16" Countersink.

Where do I get one of those handles?  Want one for my 400h...

Rancanfish

Send a PM directly to Alan Tani, he'll answer as soon as he's available.
