Thread: JDM reels relating to panfish

Going to try and get it spooled up and out fishing by Monday. This reel has two drag stack configurations....one for tough...and one for light. I'm pretty sure what the light means but what exactly is tough?? It comes configured in the tough mode. Hope I don't lose a spring while switching those around to play with them.

I saw that on the website looks like a good idea...

After losing a couple, I started putting the spool inside a clear baggie before dissembling the drag stack. I use dental picks, cheap from Harbor freight, stuck through the baggie. WHEN the springs fly, they stay inside. If I get interrupted, I can close the baggie up until I return.

I did the bearing upgrade to 2 of ultraslab's reels - while he drove my truck with his boat in tow on the way from fishing. I used the baggie trick, and managed to get them both done without losing a part! Try it while rolling down a country road. Ha.

Proud of you....these new LT reels with that tiny spring give me fits.
