Yes, I replaced the stock T handle with a factory casting knob typically found in Curado K, Curado MGL 150. All my reels both casting and spinning have the same knobs, I just like them all to feel somewhat the same. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your casting reels staying smooth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2DM Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 5 hours ago, KP Duty said: Are your casting reels staying smooth? Overall, Yes, but I don't use all of them at the same time, half of them are my winter reels and half are summertime reels and on rotation most of the time, so they don't get used a lot if you know what I mean, but I can tell you this based on my experience that my none "Solid Core" reels loses that out of the box smoothness quicker by a little bit overtime. When they start to sound "Raspy or Geary" then I just replace the X-ship bearings and they're back to smooth and quiet again, it's kind of a repeat process on some of them that is why I keep a few of those bearings around. Maybe it's a byproduct of the whole double bearing supported pinion thing? On the other hand, My Solid Core Reels gets smoother the more I use them which I find strange cause all these reels basically use the same internal parts. This experience makes me want to stick with Core Solid Reels on future purchases, but then again, in some case, no reels that are identical feels the same. Nothing wrong with non-solid reels but the quality just feels more consistent on Solid Core reels IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Alpster Posted September 6 Super User Share Posted September 6 Here's the latest, I am downsizing my collections trying to stick to what I really use in my old age. LOL I intend to sell/give away more than half of this stuff so I don't have to maintain it. The plano boxes on the shelves are packed full. I consider myself a recovering Bait Monkeyholic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
