just thought i,d put this up here seen as someone thought they knew everything :lol:

as with all fixed spools if your casting much weight make sure the spool is at the bottom of its stroke ,this will stop you bending the axle and having a wobbly reel :wink:

old news :wink:
an even BIGGER more important tip, is to make sure you tighten down your spool, casting big weights with a loose spool could lead to you cutting or losing the tip of your finger :wink:

Must say, that is something I ever even thought about. Now that I do think about it, it makes sense. It hurts when I think too much. Thanks for the tip. :D

pumping in fish or big clumps of weed in the tide with the spool fully up does more damage 8)
