Title: Is this a Daiwa? Reel ID
Post by: bb2fish on January 07, 2013, 07:28:40 AM
I am replacing drag washers in a reel, but I don't know the model because the reel tag ID has fallen off.  I think it's a Daiwa.  Does anyone know?

wish I knew how to rotate the pictures on photobucket.

Here are the drag washers all taken apart (one is broken).

The fiber drag size is 0.940" OD     0.560" ID  0.06" thick.  I need three of them, hard to order when I don't know what reel this is?? 
Any help would be great.  Thanks.

I think your reel is a Daiwa 50h based on the line capacity listed on the frame crossbar. Alan did a very nice tutorial listed in this section. If in doubt, try emailing Dawn the washer specs. Maybe she can match a carbonex washer set for you..

I have to agree... sealine 50h... that reel may look sad but it's a great reel and durable as can be.
Fix it up and go fishing! ;)

Yippie, 50h, we have a winner.  Dawn at smoothdrag is getting me what I need.  I've got the schematic and I'll be good to go.  This reel has seen a lot of salmon, I'm happy to bring new life to an old salmon killer.  Thanks guys.

They are well built reels.

I think a 5+1 drag stack can be done on this reel, contact Bryan when he gets out of the hospital.
