Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Quote from: Easybreezey on May 11, 2022, 11:02:58 PMAlso haven't been able to find much about the max drag on this reel. And in case anyone was wondering at full spool with tightened preset topped out at 164.2lbs

164.2lbs??!?!!

Is that a typo?

No sir. Granted it was pretty locked down. Free spool was still spitting about 10lbs. But at strike measured 94. Due to a busted ankle and sheer power required we hooked the reel up to a scale attatched to my buddies truck. He put it in drive imagining it would pull. Which it didn't. So he had to give it some gas. Only tested for a few turns just because that's an absurd amount of stress.

that should have been enough to deform the gear teeth.
