Daiwa Sv Alpha

My point is that different people are saying different things regarding the handles, sometimes in the same review, I found seven bearings inside the reel and 0 in the knobs. What is more likely, that someone swiped 2 cheap bearings from the knobs, yet added 2 somewhere internally to a NIB reel or that it was manufactured that way?

 

The review on TT says it both ways, but the picture with the caption reading 1 bearing and one bushing per knob is of one knob, a screw, and 2 bushings.

I understand that alphas have one bearing per knob just like a lot of other models, that's why I suggested that a box of alphas handles got mislabeled and sent to the Ss sv assembly line or something like that. Who knows, just speculating. I thought we were being civil. I have no idea why.

I believe it's posspossible that mistakes are being made with Daiwa assembly. My understanding is they are having some turnover. When I received my SS SV, much to my surprise it had 4 bushings in the handle. Call me crazy, but I've never seen a black plastic bearing and I know no bearings were in there. Nobody is going to convince me otherwise.

Right, and if you open it up, you'll find 7 bearings. It's a 7+1 reel. If yours came with the typical 2 bearing / 2 bushing handle, BONUS!, you got a 9+1 ss sv.

Here's a simple solution.  You can order a 25ct bag of 4x7x2.5 bearing on ebay for only $11.95, with free shipping.  Then you can add the bearings missing to all of your Daiwa reels.
