Thanks Steve! lol, yeah sometimes a piece or two go missing, usually a spring, screw or washer. I like the new body design, but this thin profile low gear still bothers me. lol
I cant speak to this saltwater reel but i remember not to long ago , shimano had to go back to brass gearing from steel micro module gearing because of chipping.
@@robb158 interesting. Never considered chipping. I know they’re able to cut brass along more precisely due to cutting tools not wearing so often. Okuma and Penn uses steel gears. Even Daiwa uses it on the Lexa HD. I’ve never heard of failure from brass but at the same time, they weren’t this thin nor not that high of lb drag applied to it. Only way for us to know is to put it to use. Hoping to hang one soon
