Re: Epoxy on guides cracked

If you want to secure it, get a bottle of flex coat epoxy or threadmaster, they are the one i use and look for long setting or high build. Mix 1 to 1 ratio, coat the guide just to be secure. Or if you are in south eastern suburb, i can rebind and recoat them.

Re: Epoxy on guides cracked

Epoxy cracked most likely because quality or the poxy itself being brittle, good quality epoxy should be able to bend with the rod.

Re: Question: What does "1+1" bearings mean in a reel?

Instead of having crazy high bearing count, i'd rather have reel with better corrotion resistant or better annodised and paint. Many cheaper reel are lacking those. More bearings makes reel spin more easier but with high abec, reel can become noisy. I'd rather use low abec with high corrotion resist...

Re: Question: What does "1+1" bearings mean in a reel?
