toriums serviced

old salt

Sealiner
Hi Everyone.

Here are 3 torium 30 model reels i serviced.

This specific reel is probably one of the most robust reels next to the 20-40, speed master and 15-30 model reels for our type of fishing. I have a huge admiration for the old model torium. They have proven themselves over the years to be no nonsense workhorses just like the previous generation AK47 models TLD ones.

Have a look at these ones i did, they were in need of some TLC after having worked really hard.

A number of bearings and anti reverse one way roller bearings were changed, the necessary TLC given after ultrasonic cleaning to remove dirt and more importantly all salt residue.

NOTHING will remove the salt build up like an ultrasonic cleaner, note this. I have invested a lot of money in my 10L model, this confirms how serious i am about ensuring you get the very best protection with my reel services.
Nothing destroys the latest metallic reels more than salt corrosion, NO amount of brush scrubbing can compare, here the sonic cleaner is in its own class PERIOD.

There are a number of various modifications that can be done to improve the reels performance on ALL the torium models, 14-16-20-30 and 50.

You will note some mods done like the bush to bearing at the bottom of the driveshaft, machined spool shafts for casting further, modified anti reverse dog ratchet plates, carbontex drags fitted and polymer handle knobs i made for comfort on big fish and durability and salt water corrosion resistance. To name but a few.

Have a look at the reels build, look at how it is greased, take some tips shown in the pictures.

The most important thing i need to add, NOTHING can replace years of solid practical work experience, especially with technical problem solving, coupled with good work ethic, trust, integrity and a reputation of workmanship that speaks for itself.

There are lots of pics on my facebook page Jonathans Reel Repairs

Enjoy the post.
