You have to love those old workhorse reels. My old Daiwa B-150RL has been with me since 1977. It still works as well as the day I bought it.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I do like them a lot. Simple and very well made. Hard to top that!

when I was young, "made in Japan" was a red flag, I have found a lot of Japanese equipment to be well engineered and well built. I think a lot of that was due to most of the adults in my life lived through WW2. Japan after the war was in the same boat as the U.S., and other countries, how to retool factories used to make things to military specs to non war things and the engineering carried over in to making consumer products

Same here

Made in Japan is a lot better than made in China

@@RickMahoney2013 I have a 1958 Morse sewing machine, Toyota is cast in to parts underneath, it's built like a tank. I have Japanese reels that rival almost any other countries brands, they are all simple, tough , and a lot easier to work on then a lot of the bigger brand names

and I used to be a Mitchell snob until I started watching Dennis' videos

[@2ndChanceTackle]

The Japanese products from the 1970s are hard to beat. Daiwa, Olympic, Ryobi, Shimano all built quality reels at that time

nice video! I have one of these reels and would like to see a video on fixing the bail spring. Mine doesn't want to click closed.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I don't have one in the shop right now. I will add this to my request list and do one if possible - Thanks for asking - Dennis

Dennis, out of 58 vintage Daiwa reels I have none in this series. I’m very interested in this and others in this series. It is a very common internal mechanism and anti-reverse. I have many reels including Daiwas that operate exactly like this one. Glad to see this reel Dennis! Scott got a good one. - Chris

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Yes he does. I like this series too.

Looking at your library, it seems you get more old Daiwa's to work on than Shimano's. Seems to me the Daiwa's last. Maybe the Shimano's just don't last to get this old .......

[@2ndChanceTackle]

That is a fair observation.. Shimano's had a later start than Daiwa. The company started making fishing reels in 1975 and we didn't see many here until the 1980s. Daiwa had a head start, so of the older ones I get there are more Daiwas - Thanks

Where I can find handle.. I losing it. 😢😢

[@2ndChanceTackle]

They are no longer available as replacement parts. You will need to search used parts sellers on sites like eBay or look for a donor reel at local sales and flea markets
