fishychris Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sorry for the title but this question is geared more toward reel twinks than rod differences. So if I'm looking for maximum distance, other then swapping out reel bearings and special lubes for those bearings, is there anything else mechanically I can do to increase my distance? Is there anything else I should look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnymoney Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yes, but it depends on the reel you are trying to twerk. What reel might that be? BEAVERTON, OR 97006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishychris Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sorry, it's a daiwa millionaire 7ht mag st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnymoney Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Your sorry? I'm sorry, I know next to nothing about the daiwas. I did own a black 7ht for short time. About the only improvement to that reel was a brass sleeve and washer combo that fit between the crank and the frame. This part either home made or from blakdog provides support to the crank and maintains proper alignment of the gears during heavy loads. It wont make it cast any further, but it may make it cast "longer" so to speak. Â From what I've read, the best thing you can do with this reel to gain added distance is to take a lesson or two from someone who knows what they're doing. Â Good Luck, Â Lew BEAVERTON, OR 97006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishychris Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well I definitely planned on working on my technique as well so I'll take that advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
