My reel didn't have any shims. I guess I was lucky. I'll post spooling video a bit later and see if I didn't mess up, but this was the 3rd or 4th time I've taken it apart.
I'm sorry I couldn't get my comments to come up, so I couldn't read or even reply. Luckily, I bought this reel new, and it came with a parts list and diagram. The only washer I seen are always just on either side of bearings.
It's a red fish in Texas a red over 27 inches is considered a bull red. You can only keep one bull red a day must have a tag. Slot red is a red that can be kept 20-26 inches and anything smaller that 20 is a rat red..... where you from and thank you for subscribing.
