You can get a 6.5:1 upgraded main gear that eliminates the stock 5.0:1 23" for 45.00 and with prices of a Conquest 200 these days if you hunt hard enough you would be right in the budget.....did not mean to confuse anyone but it can be done , just takes thinking outside the box a little.

I would be all over a Conquest 200 or a Calcutta 200 GT .

You will never get back to it's original condition and if that is what you want buy a new one. However since you have caught fish with it continue to fish it in its wounded state..... As an after thought I would fish it alongside of a new one just to see which one out performs the other...you may be onto something.....LOL.

Cabela's has it minus the line stripper......http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1729189&categoryId=0&parentCategoryId=0&subCategoryId=0&indexId=0&itemGUID=54df0b88ac1084535c59a0f40fed723b

"Rayburn Red" is a classic color and don't be afraid to throw it all year long.....

Sitting on a Poison Glorious Cover Trap.....

Finally the "Right Hand " showed up today , the Conquest BFS HG that is.......

Turn the screw to the right till it cannot turn anymore and then back it off one full turn.....you will need to take that screw completely out in order to get to the spool bearing. You are talking about the screw located in the center of the DC unit correct, because there is no tension knob on the reel like the previous model

MegaBass Siglett in Mat Higurashi it has the glow wing , smallmouth love it and you will too.......

Here you go......translate

Been having a lot of fun with Megabass Sigletts and Grand Sigletts along with Beetle X and Beetle X Hover Crawls......

Thanks for the heads up, picked up some Sigletts and Grand Sigletts along with some Pop-X's. Mikes has always been a solid resource for Megabass products and is great to do business with.

They recommend a drop of oil on the " Brake Pipe "which is the brass ring that the brake blocks make contact with to brake the reel.....The other spot you are asking about is the bearing which is seated in the center of the brake pipe which pretty much houses it and the spool shaft rides on. Treat that bearing like you would any other clean and relube depending on your usage with only a drop oil....

Features: Armilo comes in only one color, grey, and one spool size for now (165yds). There are no special coatings defined by the manufacturer only to say it was designed by Morizo Shimizu as a nylon line with the characteristics of fluorocarbon. One curious feature of its packaging is halfway down the spool, the line has a section of pink indicator paint letting you know half of the line is gone so you can either stop to save the rest for another reel or continue on knowing there will not be enough left over for a different reel.

Different reels require different tools......

It is a Popsicle Mold purchased at either Walmart or Target not sure which one because it was a while ago. I did look for a mfg. tag but could not find one, so here is another picture showing the three deep tubes. It certainly keeps everything organized with easy accessibility .....

Tools with the next victim .....

The bad news is you will need to get them for the 16 DC handle because they mount differently than the 12 Antares HG handle.....check and see if he has them.

You are clearly missing the nut retainer and the screw that secures it to the handle.... yes they have a function and are the reason you lost the nut.
