i cant make out
I dont know why you guys are getting excited over parts that have been cleaned . Its not exactly rocket science . Rule of thumb would be that if you dont need your mommy to wash you , you should be able to operate a paint brush and some de-greaser![]()
Hooked. 

Hi Ebi
For the mentally challenged with their negative comments as always, they are 2different reels WOW you are so correct and YES i do this often as said also as the point is to get a message across.
The first reel is a finnor while the second is a torium.
This the main reason i have been so quiet on sealine due to these idoitic people with low self esteem whom think the know it all and seldom add value in what they say. Their comments are more destructive than critical.
The negative persona they create and leave on the forum is bad for bussiness also the aliases they have created to back up their poor form comments should all be banned i think.
In life you get people whom you look forward to hearing from and then you get people like these...............

Wow! After reading how Rinex pimped his Shimano 15/30 reel for long distance casting... I wanted to know if I could do the same for my Shimano Speedmaster IV.
I made contact with Rinex and he gave me Old Salt's details.
After speaking to the "Old" one, "old" with reference to his wisdom when it comes to reels and all the technical details about it and how it can be enhanced to perform better, I took my Shimmie to him.
Listening to him speak, not understanding many of the illustrations he made, made me realise this guy has a special passion for his hobby, servicing, repairing and pimping reels.
Lyk my hy laaik dit meer as hengel self!![]()
He put in carbon fibre washers; undercut my spool for distance casting; replaced shims; replaced the main drive shaft bush with a bush he turned from some hard "spaceage" material that will tripple the life of the bush with almost no wear on the shaft.
He also designed his own power handles, wat ek nog moet kry, but I am really soooooo impressed with my Shimmy's performance, I just had to share it with you guys!
Thanks for hooking me up Rinex.

Old Salt.... RESPECT OU GROTE!![]()

Ek Ken Jonathan persoonlik, ek kan nie vir hom praat nie maar dit is hoe ek oor die saak voel.
N joke is n joke en n chirp is n chirp ,maar soos die se ding gaan jy maak nie n sambreel in n ander ou se hol oop nie. Kyk ek weet met sy werk is hy baie ernstig en draai nie doekies om nie .
Jy hoef nie hom te like of altyd te laaik wat hy se nie maar face the facts die ou is goed in wat hy doen en hy het n passie daarvoor, baie sealiners het dit al uit gewys, maar as jy n paar mense het wat gereeld hulle “opinie†lewer op jou posts en dit klink meeste van die tyd negatief en voel asof hulle try damage doen aan jou reputasie of n personal vendetta het teen jou dan raak N mens seker gatvol of hoe?Dit is nie ayoba of die trotse sealine maniere nie is dit?
Al is dit hoe "onskuldig" Werk en geld is baie skaars in die lewe glad nie grappies nie veral as jy n famielie het om voor te sorg EN AL MANIER VAN ADVERTIZING OM BESIGHEID EN GELD IN TE KRY IS WORD OF MOUTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA. Enige negetiewe komentaar kan vir enige iemand wat n besigheid het groot skade doen veral as hulle vir hulle self werk.
Soos ons weet kry ons baie mense en gaste wat hierdie post view en as jy nie die persoon ken nie en dit die eerste post wat jy sien van hom sal jy dink die ou try jou vlous(hoe ever jy dit spel) en wil hom dan nie gebruik vir besigheid in die toekoms oor n onskuldige pic wat nie geload het nie of whatever die rede?
Ek was al baie by Jonathan se huis en ek het al self gesien hoeveel reels die ou op sy rakke het om te doen op n daaglikse basis, so dat hy die tyd maak om van sy werk te post, om vir ons n bietjie meer op te voed is al reeds baie nice van hom. Die ou wys jou ook die produkte wat jy in jou reels kan gebruik.
Ek weet niks van reels af nie, infact ek is n groot poephol en even ek kon die verskil tussen die pics sien. Ek dink dit is nie n kwesie van twee pics omruil nie maar ek het agter gekom die torium se after pic van die gears was net nie gepost nie.
Jy kan duidelik die verskil sien tussen die brass gear en stainless gears en tussen die swart frame en silver frame. Hoekom so groot ding maak daarvan en die sambreel reg kry?

Thats nicepost # 01 is a reel in distress
post #03 is the same reel restored, great job!
i asked cause i have not seen that main gear drag setup before.
