Unfortunately Fin Nor is now part of Pure Fishing and is part of the Zebso line. I personally like the old FinNor spinning reels made in Miami, FL. They were designed by Gar Wood Jr. and according to what I read the famous spinning reels hit the market in 1959. With this reel I simply have no use for a spinning reel without a AR override. It’s just my preference and not a rule for everyone. I was very happy to see a current Fin Nor spinning reel. Thanks Dennis! - Chris

Yes - they have quite a history of making fine reels. Zebco sold Fin-Nor to Pure Fishing prior to the Zebco move to Rather products. That happened about two years ago. I guess it is wait and see on what becomes of Fin-Nor over time - Thanks

From my automotive engineering days, Torx style fasteners are easier (faster) to index and achieve torque during assembly.

Than you for the added information - Dennis

No Dennis! Just like with fishing reels needing oils and greases designed for that need, bicycle chains require bike chain lubricants. I use a product from Finishline that once applied, soaks into the rollers and dries so as to not attract dirt. They use a suspension of Teflon or Krytox as a friction reducer. My bike chains are clean and don't transfer crud to your leg or pants. I think in fishing reels, the hype of 5, 10, 15 or more bearings is a two folded card. First it sounds like the more bearings the higher the quality of the reel. Secondly, bushings require a tighter tolerance hole than does a bearing, so any mis-alignment with a bearing still moves freely. A misaligned bushing may not allow the assembly to be assembled.

Thank you - my bicycle is 20 years old and not used much. I use the oil to keep rust off of the chain. I appreciate the tip on the other lubricants - Dennis

Got my LT100, great land base reel. Seem Pure Fishing totally stop Fin Nor, sad to see that

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I guess they needed a name to put on sunglasses! - I'm sure that's what the founders of Fin-Nor had in mind :(

[@augustofernandes7777]
