Title: fin nor 12 drag replacement
Post by: bill19803 on December 30, 2016, 09:08:41 PM

my christmas present to me arrived today a fin nor 12a its appx size of atd 80w or atd 80w. yee haw Darron ill be hunting you

does anyone have any experience in converting drag on 12a (appx 80w size reel) from cork to carbon fiber? reel looks pristine but there seems to be a high spot on drags when cranking with spool locked down. this reel is not for the shelf but to work and kill swordfish. think it would be neat to catch a sword on antique like this, so getting it overhauled is in the picture.
