Title: Aaron's pin pliers
Post by: Richardr on May 06, 2014, 07:20:20 PM
Aaron's pin pliers in stock.  Red  http://smoothdrag.com/Spool_Bearing_Pin_Removal_Pliers.html

Dawn,
Regarding the Spool Bearing Pin Pliers, will it work with both low profile baitcasters (lexa 300, revo toro, curado 300) and "larger" inshore/"midshore" conventionals (sizes like Shimano Talica 8-16, Tekota 600LC, etc).
I'm looking for a general purpose bearing pin plier. I've glanced at the Hedgehog tool but seems a bit fragile and not capable of handling most reels, please advice.
Thanks
Richard (btw, great with Tsi321)

Hi Richard,

The pliers have worked with all reels that I have worked on, including small bass low-profile reels from Ambassador, Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma,... to Shimano Trinidads and ProGear Wahoo Special if that helps.
