Title: Daiwa Sweepfire
Post by: Shark Hunter on November 22, 2013, 07:19:02 AM
Since Alan said this was his favorite spinner. I picked one up for 20 bucks.

The only thing I don't like is the main gear is exposed and there is a hole in the end as well for the oscillator. Can you seal this up? If any sand gets in there, this baby is done.

What happened to the rear cover.  There is a gold plastic cover that is supposed to be screwed on the back to cover up the openings.  Something is a miss with your reel..

The schematic on the box shows it. I asked the seller if he had it. You wouldn't happen to have one? Would you Boss?
4000-2B rear cover. ;)

i don't have one, but you're good without.  you could call daiwa at 562-375-6800 and i'm guessing they would send you one for free.......

No need to worry about that plate, put a hook on that line, tie the foot to your leader and use that reel as a fish finder rig ;).

I made a deal with the seller. He gave me 5 bucks back and I bought a parts reel for 10 bucks. So I still only got $25 in it and a reel for parts. I'm just going to use it to catch bait. My son wanted to take one of my rods out in the Kayak, and I wouldn't let him, It was a $100 dollar reel. This way if he loses it, its no big deal.

not bad -- a spare spool or handle would be a good deal for 5 bucks...  everything else is BONUS
