Tartan34 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Hey all, I have a BNIB CH100D7, and I need some help on what I should do with it. I pretty much and down to three options, and don't know where to go from here. 1) Fish it as is 2) Put a Hawtech handle on it with new bearings 3) Trade/Sell it I know this is a very strong reel, but don't know what I should do with it. How can this reel handle light lures? Cheers Quote
Super User Teal Posted March 15, 2014 Super User Posted March 15, 2014 Option 1. What is the panic about? Its a decent reel. Use it as is. Fish anything you want on it that you would with a 7 to 1. Gear ratio. Again I don't know what the panic about.... Put it on a jig, t rig, pitching rod, flipping rod, frog rod.... Quote
Tartan34 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 No panic at all. Thanks for your opinion. Quote
Drewski73 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Agree with Teal. Fish it, its a fishing reel. They dont go bad or anything. Its a pretty nice reel that isnt made anymore. You cant buy a nicer reel for what you can sell it for, so fish it. Flush the bearings and theyll fish really light weights like a champ. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted March 15, 2014 Super User Posted March 15, 2014 Reels weren't made to be anything other than reels, fish with it. Quote
Solution Grantman83 Posted March 15, 2014 Solution Posted March 15, 2014 I have two with Hawtech handles and upgraded bearings. Do not let them go, they are amazing. Quote
