  1. See how it performs under normal fishing conditions. Exchange it if warranted.
  2. Any rod losing guides to a knot is poor quality and not fit for use period. Knots don't damage guides.
  3. If you'd like a quote email me what you're looking for. I do a preliminary quote , then review together to answer questions and discuss options. No obligation unless/until you place a deposit.
  4. Sorry if conclusions were jumped to but we see a lot of that kind of stuff. Go to the introductions thread and tells us about yourself to avoid any more misinterpretations.
  5. Flush the bearings and oil lightly before investing in any after market parts.
  6. 800 and 2000 grit sandpaper and brasso polish. The goal is not to remove material only polish the surface.
  7. Too much emphasis is put on high speed tools. 80% of the Tuning I do is by hand.
  8. This is the best way to address the issue. Worst case scenario replacing the spool is easy.
  9. Theres no way that housing could deform a bearing. Either you got a dud (happens) or something else is at play
  10. The OP says you upgraded the bearings. Is this a new one?
  11. Don't put grease anywhere near your spool. Lightly oil the tension spacers. Provide your screen name and I extend a 10% discount for members here. If the reel is clean and I find something simple I'll correct it and pro rate the labor.
  12. Something isn't assembled correctly. Can't say what without seeing it
  13. Spot on .ghoti. There's no magic to any of it.
  14. Welcome first of all. 2 of the 3 reel you have are on the same platform so similar performance can be expected. Some level of sound should be expected from modern light weight reels. If what you're experiencing is normal or not can't be diagnosed without seeing it. Since its multiple reels across brands I wouldn't worry too much. Send them in if you'd like and mention your BassResource.com screen name to get 10% off labor.
  15. I handle a steez rod that fits that description but I don't recall the model. I know some blanks that fit if it comes to that.
  16. If the finish is all that is disturbed it's functionally fine. I find that the more you fuss with finishes you tend to make matters worse. If you feel the need to address it, buff it out best you can with some car wax and call any remaining scars "character ".
  17. Down locking= tightens down from the top (tip) up locking = tightens up from the bottom (butt)
  18. Seats can be installed down locking or up locking. It's totally preference and has no affect on performance beyond that.
  19. Nonsense to put it bluntly. I have rods as long as 13' and not tall be any means. Use what's comfortable and works for you.
  20. Cranking and searching open water are the only times greater casting distance helps by keeping the bait in the zone longer. 90% of the time 100 foot cast is plenty to avoid spoiling fish
  21. Nice. A swimbait blank is much more forgiving and pleasurable to cast all day. Good call.
  22. They're model specific. Call outdoor world repair they'll hook you up.
  23. The parts are cheap enough. I'd replace the worm and pawl as a set.
  24. There's no magic to any of it. Should be fine. Try it and see.
