SanJuanWorm Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 It'll be polished and anodized in due time. I designed my own custom pawl type drag. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanJuanWorm Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Needs a few tweaks here an there but for the most part it's a nice big two hander reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdirty Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Woweee!! Where the 6-8w single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Woweee!! Where the 6-8w single? As soon as I have time i'll be making a 6w and a 4w. For now this is a big ass reel. More for the two handers. This things needs a few new parts as I toleranced poorly. Otherwise a polish and anodize soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 As far as drag goes,i vote for it should sound like an Islander going out but no noise in.Freespool in so you can give it a quick spin to retrieve the extra line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdirty Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm loving the no click in or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanJuanWorm Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a gear with 75 degrees reeling in and 45 degrees on the drag side. There's a backlash issue and too much friction. Re-doing the gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eotr Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Nice looking reel - let us know how the drag works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
