Good video again Steve. I just picked up a 1970s 7000 . I need to pick up side plates as there are a couple of pin holes . I'm hoping to match it up with my old 946 rod. Keep the videos coming .

[@djrmonix]

Thanks. Seen a few 7000 plates on ebay recently

Great video thx for sharing. A quick question if I replace the standard bearing for ceramic bearing do you think i need to change the mono mag for bigger size or should be ok ? 🙂👍

[@djrmonix]

Should be ok just have it screwed right in 1st cast see how it is.

[@oscarjagal1081]

@@djrmonix thank you for the information 🙂👍

Hi another great video. Where do you get all your upgrades for your reels, mainly the magnets. Thanks

[@djrmonix]

Thanks. Various places, blakdog tackle, rocket reel company, johns tackle shack, zzeta tuning to name a few.

[@steviesblues7959]

Great video would run the new bearings single shielded would totally emerse in petrol again they will be even faster.

[@djrmonix]

Says on packet they manufactured dry? I know people remove 1 shield ive never tried it.

[@facundobrady1512]

Good video! Do you know any brand to tune the 7HT in its spool cap tension or handle nut? Thanks greetings!

[@djrmonix]

Akios coloured endcaps will fit and have many colours. I think all the abu nuts fit the handle too but coloured ones hard to find.

[@fishyweasel]

Could you do a vid on how to replace the drag washers on the 7ht mag

[@djrmonix]

I havent taken apart that side of the reel on the 7hts yet. I can do it on abus tho. Will have a look some stage and see how easy it is.

[@beany1987]

Do you think these types of bearings are useful for sea fishing or just field use???

[@djrmonix]

You prob could not sure how they would get on with saltwater getting in them but you could always put a tiny bit of oil in them I guess. I use this reel on field and practice casting to sea. Rather than rinse the reel after use I wipe it with a wet cloth then dry. Using hose or tap might get water behind the spool and into bearings.

[@djrmonix]

Standard abec 5 steels with a bit of oil probably better for fishing.

[@TheHout11]

stupid question im a newbie to this thing i bought this reel because of watching youtube...so do i need to dismantle it every time i use it? used it on a surf fishing and after that i think it has a weird sounds on it?

[@djrmonix]

No you dont need to dismantle every time. Just give it a wipe with a wet cloth after each use. What kind of a noise? When casting or reeling in?

[@TheHout11]

@@djrmonix when relling it in...and any reccomendation for a line? I bought a mono 50lbs line on bass pro when i cast it with 4oz it cut my line in the air ahaha

[@fishyweasel]

Hi mate bit of a stupid question, but does it matter what way round the bearings go in. Great vid by the way.

[@djrmonix]

It doesnt no, but sometimes people take the dust shield off to speed bearing up a bit more. If you were to take 1 shield off you would have the open side inwards towards spool less chance dirt getting in.

[@richardbest3575]

Any way but sideways

[@1myzmyz]

What is the thickness of the line do you use on such machines? thank you

[@djrmonix]

Depends on the weight casting. Usually on 7ht i use for 175g 0.35mm mainline and 0.80mm shockleader

[@1myzmyz]

@@djrmonix Thank you for the quick reply. have a nice day

[@noviceangler1804]

I could do with some advice... I own diawa 7ht mag St’s.... I would like to upgrade the bearings to abec 7’s... could you please put me in touch with a place that would supply me with them cheers 👍

[@djrmonix]

Formula bearings do them for 7ht. Search on ebay for them.

[@brianrobinson6017]

I have to st reels but how do you take bearings out to clean them any advice please

[@ryder6259]

Quick question but what is the start time on you 7ht's

[@djrmonix]

Cant really measure a startup time on blue mag as needs much higher speed to get brakes working. On my red turbo monomagged prob around 15 secs off the top of my head.
