Hi Jamie, great vid on the strip down and re-build. Have Akios changed the spec a little on these darker chrome sidplates? that 'extra' locating pin on the handle sideplate below the top thumbscrew is missing on this version? If anyone knows why, i'm sure you will. Cheers, R.

I once tried to take apart a Shimano 4500 spinning reel and could not put it back together so I sent it to Shimano in a baggie they called me several weeks later and said they would send me a new reel for $ 25 which they did I ask them why they just don't put it back together they said the technicians were very busy they want to satisfy the customer as soon as possible now that's customer service I also have sent back several reels that the bearings froze up a new reel every time. I bought a Akios 656 and just love this reel for surf fishing here in Florida but I dare not attempt to take it apart at your level you must have an engineer background thanks for the video.

I'm an underwater camera man, I started with reels in the same place you did. First time I took an Abu 6500 Chrome rocket apart it took me 3 days to put it back together right!😇

Do you intend doing a strip down review of the akios f15 nitron

[@PimpMyReel]

No, its probably the only Akios reel I do not like...

[@colinchampion-sl7ib]

@@PimpMyReel it's one of the best general use reel I've ever used, I suppose the moral to this story is were all different.
