I did it. It’s a big leap of faith drilling it out. But the reel works great.

Thanks man, started getting very stiff drag on my fierce 5000 was about to replace all washers and then realised it was stiff without any washers, used your trick and now my drag is working smooth as silk. Thanks so much for sharing this. I just used the drill bit that fit very snug into the spool. Super happy

I've had to do something similar. didn't use a drill tho... just some 600 grit sandpaper on the brass rod to get it to loosen up.

Hey braddah kapono, I had dis same issue and it turned out that my washers were burnt out and I took em to the fish store had me repaired, didn’t immediately fix the issue but after a couple days it seems like it fixed itself

hey i live kona side on the big island and i was just wondering where some good spots to go fishing are.

Go down to any shore line. Somewhere new every time and explore the rocks and coast. Lots of good stuff out there. Each place is different and good
@FrankCruz-zt4pv13 күн бұрын
My problem is as the reel starts to run the drag knob spins causing it to basically tightens it self and locks up on its self..
