Title: Daiwa 7270A for my daughter.
Post by: Beachmaster on January 02, 2020, 11:26:43 PM
Picked this little UL off ebay for a few bucks. Took it apart and cleaned/lubed.  There is literally like five parts to this reel.  It appears to be from 1975. I spoiled it with 200 yds of 8 lb test and had her out in the yard teaching her how to cast it. She did great! I think we are going to go try to catch something tomorrow!

That's a nice one, she'll catch on to fishing it in a few minutes once you get her to water.

BTW, I had the older version of that reel. Gave like 2 bucks at Heck's Dept. Store and got change back around 1973.  Looked like this one in the pic from ebay.

Alright! That's the way to get 'em started---without bein skunked!
Haveta say, when I's a kid, there was just somethin about bein on the water that woulda kept me commin back, even with bein skunked.

I serviced both a 7270A and a 7280A today.  https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=30442.0 Fewest parts I recall in a reel.

Here's the 7270A and schematics.
