Hi, I always buy a reel and take it apart and do a semi tune. I polish the spool shaft and ends.  I remove the pinion and polish the inside and out with a dremel and semichrome. If I'm just focusing on the spool, is there anything else I need to polish that will be beneficial? Again, not looking to do a full supertune. 

Thanks. 

What's your question?

X2. You said you do a semi-super tune, then you said you wanted to do more, then you said you wanted to stick to a semi-super tune.

Anything more that's related to the spool that I could polish..

Not really. Spool shaft and the inside of the pinion gear are most important. That's about it.Make sure you flush your bearings to get the most out of them.

What you're doing pretty much is a full super tune . Only thing I do differently is a progression of abrasives. Lots of new reels have a pretty good finish on them to begin with. If the reel has brass tension spacers polish those too.
