Title: Sure Strike reels
Post by: Donnyboat on August 08, 2020, 07:17:55 AM
Hi everyone, I brought some rod gear & threat a whyle back, & there was a Sure Strike reel 1100 DX model, made in Japan, with it all, the screws are getting a bit rusty, or off colour, can anyone tell me who made them reels or who sells parts for them in Australia. I had a surch through the orca web site, there not mentioned there, thanks & keep well, cheers Don.

from scant eBay photos, reel looks like my K-Mart 207 or the bigger 307 (I can check dimensions)
Olympic OEM renamed/rebranded MANY times -- scattered info on AT will get you other brand/model names/#'s
if so, it's silly to look for rare parts -- donor reels are still VERY affordable:

(well, not quite as cheap & numerous, as a decade ago -- you may want to hurry)
also, look through eBay photos of bigger Olympic Dolphin models & medium Dohzuki (doubtful)

Thanks Kim, for your very generous offer, I think it would be best to give it to someone, that will fish it, the reel I have need hex screws, from the info I have received, Olympic made them, they are a nice solid reel though, thanks again cheers Don.

not saying I'm 100%, but if Kim thinks his reel is same as this 107:

then, it's pretty likely...  207 is definitely larger diameter
