Self-service servicing

Either after a long period of use, or after an especially punishing trip, our reels would show the wear and tear. Instead of bringing them to tackle shops for servicing, we decided to try it on our own. Of course, that would not be possible without the help of our friend - thanks, Jonathan!

Jonathan demonstrated using our Daiwa Hyper Certate Custom, and WT tried what he learnt on a Diawa Freams J.

That was on Sunday, and yesterday we went Beach Road and Jalan Besar to buy the tools with the new ball bearings and drag.

















New ball bearings - not all were available in stainless steel.


















Lubricants and etc.



It's amazing what difference it makes after all the time, money and effort you put in. There's definitely much more satisfaction then enlisting the help of the service centres!  :)
