SL50 SL30 Grandwave 50SHV

After everything has been re-assembled on the reel, spool reinserted ratchet, cover put back on, I turn the handle of the reel, the spool spins, but with a bit of difficulty. Then I undo the ratchet cover and with some luck, after fudging around  (by which time I have removed and assembled ratchet cover a couple of times::cavmn) I eventually get the spool to spin as it should.

I don't enjoy this hit -and- miss approach, could someone kindly point me in the right direction so that I get it right first time please?

Thanks.

thats quite odd

Was the spool tension dial tight? (that little dial on the right hand side of the reel)
Was the spool aligned properly?

I cant figure out how the rachet is going to cause that

Go to the reel servicing section of this site, and you'll see how to properly assemble your reels.

I will admit that it can sometimes be a "hit-and-miss" kind of thing (especially with coffee grinders and their @#$%en instant anti-reverses). Once you get the hang of it though, you can do it in the dark, and most reels are on the same design principle

Thanks Surfamike.

 Has nothing to with the ratchet. My apologies for not expressing myself very clearly. Will try tightening the spool tensioning knob and see what happens.

Thanks Ol' Chap.

Beginning to get really cheesed off with my grandwave 50. With the other reels (SL 30&SL50), I managed to get it right with a bit of a fiddle. Don't ask me how , I just got it right thats all.

I checked everything on the GW50 and can't seem to figure out wut it is after I've re- assembled the reel. checked the spool tensioning knob and I've loosened it as loose as loose can be, inserted the shaft on the handles side at different points in the reel. and the reel still turns as if there was something holding it back.  And this is not even completely stripping the reel completely like down to drag washers etc. 

DO I have to go through the same CRAP everytime I wanna take my reel apart to give it a light lube and cleaning?::gas::swear::cavmn

Has anybody Experienced this with the GW50? Are they really such finnicky reels?

 

                HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP pLEEEEEEZEEEE!!!!!!!

Funny you should mention this as on Friday night I got together with a mate to tie a few traces for our trip to Mpame and started by stripping my Grandwave to give it a service.

Cleaned it and put some Rocket Fuel and had the exact same problem. We must of restripped it 4 times until we thought we had got it right but it still seems hell of a tight. We even logged onto the Daiwa website to get the scemetics to see if we had done anything wrong

We still don't have a clue what we did wrong but it did take up valuable drinking time and preserved a bottle of Captain for a while.

 

 

I would love to know what the

That's odd.
I've taken apart my Grandwave so many times that I've stopped counting and never had this problem.
Did you make sure that the spool is completely slotted into place? Secondly, if you grease the gears to heavily, some of that grease can feed through into the spool bearing and cause it to not run as smoothly.

You refer to greasing the gears too heavily, would this apply if i used oil as well? I only use Surecatch oil to lube my reels.

When you say slotted into place, which side are you referring to, the ratchet side or the drag/handle side, for it to slot into place?

shotttttttt

Oil wouldn't cause the same problem as the grease. I'm talking about the drag/handle side, where the spool slots into the pinion gear. It sometimes feels like it goes into place, but then it isn't in yet, if you fidle a bit with the spool you would feel it suddenly slides into place.

Will fiddle and let you know. Last thing I wanna do is take it to someone who wants to charge me some ridiculous amount for this and yet wut he has done doesn't equate to science rocket LOL

thanks

Anchorman, thanks very much for the advice, fiddled and faffed around with the shaft slotting into the pinion gear and all of a sudden I heard a lovely "click" put the reel back together and she was back in action!!! Thanks a stack. Would do the "manna" thing but dunno how.

A great big thank you once again.
