pondassasin Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone have any experience in disassembling the brake holder from the spool on a Shimano Core (or any Shimano for that matter)? I am looking at purchasing the Avail microcast spool but I will need to use the brake assembly from a stock spool. I would rather just purchase a Yumeya BFS spool but I can't find one in stock anywhere. Thanks in advance! Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Not to say it can't be done, but the Shimano spool is not designed with disassembly in mind. If I were you I'd keep looking for the spool you really want. Quote
pondassasin Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I kind of had that feeling when I was looking at it, but I wanted some professional insight. On the japantackle website it says to use the brake holder from a stock spool so that's why I was asking. I guess I'll have to keep a eye open for the Bfs spool. Thanks DVT! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 21, 2012 Super User Posted February 21, 2012 I believe it's press fit, but no way I'd touch that mod with a ten foot pole. Quote
pondassasin Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Well, if you won't touch it then I won't either J. I'll hold out for the Bfs spool. Or, should I just sell the Core and buy a Pixy? By the time I purchase the spool I'll have close to $450 in the Core. Quote

pondassasin Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I had a feeling you would suggest a Daiwa reel lol. I might have to give it a try Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Or you could use my secret weapon for light baits: a $70 spinning reel. Just sayin' Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Or you could use my secret weapon for light baits: a $70 spinning reel. Just sayin' How dare you suggest such an outlandish thing!!! Spinning reels for light lures.... Outlandish I tell ya outlandish!!!......lol Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted February 22, 2012 Super User Posted February 22, 2012 PX Type R...... How does this compare to a core 50? Do you have/used both? I've been looking at buying the PX R but I only have one Daiwa and am not overly excited about it. Quote
bassinbrian Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 PX Type R...... X2! Either way you can't go wrong but the PX in my hands has the slight increase in performance still ( assuming both are stock ) Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 22, 2012 Super User Posted February 22, 2012 How does this compare to a core 50? Do you have/used both? I've been looking at buying the PX R but I only have one Daiwa and am not overly excited about it. I've only handled one, and not in pieces or on the water. Can't say, but since it's basically a souped up PX68, it should make a great reel even better. If you don't like Diawa, take a pass. These reels are very Daiwa. Quote
