I don't like the stock screws that come on fishing reels, especially the slotted screw heads. I found these on amazon, they are stainless button heads that fit most reels. I've replaced all my frame screws on my Daiwa's and Shimano's with these. They take a 1.5mm allen wrench. They will save you from getting scratches on your reels.

 

Screws

I know where you can get titanium ones...

Yeah, cause cyclists are just, if not more OCD than anglers when it comes to weight and bling. I sell it, not use it, my screws and bolts are all stock...

You guys make me feel like a Macho man.     ??

What about the course thread screws that go from the back into the side plate?

May I ask why?

I haven't had any issues with stock screws, except some are a soft metal. I use the correct size screwdriver. Snug em down without over tightening them.

If they are slotted, once in a while the screwdriver can slip out and scratch your reel.

All of my reels are from Japan. So they fit all of mine, Steez, Antares, Bantam, SV103HL and my TD103ML perfectly.  I just use it on the front side plate or on the rear behind the spool on the Antares and Bantam.  I've never used them for much more on the reels.
