Hi Trophy i love your collection man.............. i also used to use the 2B and 2BS 2006 and 2004 the older version is better i believe i used to polish the shaft the spool rotates on the end bushes iside the spool i used to chamfer and did it cast the spring on the drag plate could be docotred as well and 3 drops of very light machine oil on the shaft really made the reel WIND BIGT TIME i caught lots of edibles on it for 9 years but looked after it properly then my father in law claimed it thats about 15 years ago now and its stil going they need to be looked after and the drag must be treated often to stop it from drying out and flattening or cracking. I used to cast and guys would look but that reel CANT cast ???? great reel only problem is the manufacturers dont make spares for them i have aksed them a few times already. I remember there are few boat records that Ashley Read and his wife put on the WP log that still stand today.
