My psychic told me she senses reel problems in certain posters futures ?.

This one is still running fine.

Might be a little much on the delicate wrists.

 

That reel is a thing of beauty, btw.

Thanks J Francho!  First baitcaster I ever bought, around 1980ish.

Those tension springs are notoriously difficult to set.

I hate them.

We don't say hate! 
 

I dislike them with white hot intensity of 10,000 suns. 

The 1st generation Abu Revo-S was the only reel that I only had to clean.  Never had to replace anything on it for 12 seasons.  My Shimano had to have a couple of washers replaced over the years, but no major repairs.  My Daiwa reels are still fairly new so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
