Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Patience is a virtue.  "preaching to the choir"   
 Looks like people coming in and lighting candles , but not sitting in the pews.
      I don`t want to preach /teach to a empty church , give me input I will give you output . 

    There is a lot of misinformation ,bad practices and not paying attention at times and the lack of details .  Pull up random videos , watch / look for the mistakes .

  Here is something to look at , why does the line spool up on it`s own in a level manor ?

Daiwa G 4000 is close to BG 4000 but it had a better drag ,they call power drag . It have 3 ball bearings but only 1 in handle ,1 in rotor and 1 in spool .with more dish drag I don't think it needed to up grade drag in this reel,it's more than the shaft can handle or you get a bent shaft

i would normally stack them "gear - |(()) - bearing. this will increase the drag range.

not at all. 

Very light Gfish ,this one belong to my son in law ,it's better built than mine with Magnesium flame and feel stronger .He caught a bunch of white bass few week ago

Good to have you here.  Bill, SoCal mountains

I learn that when they print " design and engineering by Dam Germany " means they made some where else not Germany

Quote from: Breadfan on Today at 01:39:24 PMThis is so good to see on my favorite forum! My daughter (I've spoken about her a few times on this site) is taking her PHD in Marine Biology at Florida and it is this program (Return em' Right) that is paying for her education and employees her. She is doing a lot of the statistics and research on this device. Very cool to see it come around with people I've associated with on the forum. She is one of my favorite humans to fish with and she uses a conventional reel, of course, because that's what she saw me fish with. 

I wish to know more about the proper release depths and survival rates .

Lookin for a 130. Couldn't focus on alla box numbers or unboxed reels.
