Okuma Coldwater line counter reel required some drag maintenance and free spool engagement repair. Before/After comparison on a Daiwa Tatula CT with upgraded Boca Bearings Abec 7 ceramics, Deuthlon premium lubricants, ReelX and Carbontex drag washers. Upgrade and replace your stock drag washers with Carbontex carbon fiber washers made in the USA. Here's how I set up my reel display using our new angled reel holders for both spinning and baitcast reels. Great for both home, shop or even a store diplay! NEW PRODUCT ALERT - KVD's Line and Lure Conditioner is now available at Reel tuned! Guaranteed to improve line casting performance and management. Also amazing for rod and reel protection. Good buddy and musky fishing guide Ben brought me this well used Shimano Tranx 400HG baitcaster reel for a deluxe service and mentioned that the pawl wasn't moving back and forth as it should. After a deep clean and lube she's 100% again and ready for battle. Brought a Shimano Curado 300E back to life. These reels are true gems..Made in Japan, strong gears etc..Upgraded to Carbontex washers and Boca Bearing Abec 7 ceramics. This Okuma Komodo SS had seen better days. A loose screw in the case, tired drag washers, gritty old grease and even some corrosion were some of the issues diagnosed. A proper deluxe clean and lube treatment has now revitalized this reel for action. Yes our exclusive angled reel stands work for fly reels as well! |
