sorry the picture is in an opposite order. heres the last close up on the gear after wash down. A bit of wear on main gear coating, otherwise perfect. unfortunately i didnt take anymore picture when i assemble this reel back together.

I've been doing service on reel recently and have got a bit addicted to it, thought of sharing what i discover internal to assist those who want to service it themselves or those who are looking to buy can decide better. comments are based by my opinion, any suggestion or comment are most welcome.

Also I'm sure stainless steel has grades, pretty sure most do rust in the fishing environments. As for personal reference I prefer shielded bearings over the rubber seal.

4x7x2.5 fits most line roller and handle which should be the highest demand.

That should give you the list for the rest.

For baitcast most would prefer ceramic on the casting spool but for gear and roller i guess stainless? How rust proof is the Stainless steel bearing that he is selling? Keen on stocking up too.

As for servicing reel, i dont recomend doing it if you are not comfortable. But if you do decide to do it grease on gear and a drop of oil on bearing, too much grease will only be debris magnet. And if its you first time, do not open bail arm.

Fk is just a stella fi with less bearings and less quality parts + made in malaysia. Technology and idea wise is the same.

If you do get one in brighton please send the picture to fish cador hahahaha
I got mine on green/white zman 4inch soft plastic, was rolling it and chatting to a mate, nek minit its on haha.

The rod will perform its best if you fish in open water, it is design for angler who fishes from shore or wading casting hollow body lure (hardbody or vibe). From my understanding of mulloway fishing in victoria, its better off if you get the boat version of seabass rod.

I didn't go Gunamatta, but fish Mornington instead on boat got a dozen of barracuta.
