Gotta order a part - no idea what to call it.

It's the protective knob/cap that fits over the handle shaft on the side of the reel - the side not being used. Make sense?

Thanks.

Maybe it's a dummy capnut :huh:


Jim, got the reel spooled with 65 whiplash to the brim, I added 50 yards of 30 mono backing and put all the line back on, I think I am ready.

Slip,

You're gonna have to install warning lights/sirens for the other side.

Handle lock knob.????????????

What reel is it for? Penn it is called a bearing cover (closed)

no clue, but i need to order one also, i keep forgetting until i go to use the reel at night, thanks for the reminder!

I'm pretty sure it's referred to as a bearing cover.

The part is for a Daiwa Saltiga.

That's a good canidate for thread locker....$3 and anything you don't want to ever come loose never will....good for lawn mower and snow blower bolts that loosen with vibration too...

Daiwa calls it a "handle lock screw". Woulda been easier to find i f i could read Chinnese, Japanese, de Duetsch or whatever. :hihi:

:eek5: If you wanna catch the fish on my side just cross the bridge. :hihi:

justplugit,

Thanks. I can't read Japanese either. :wall:

Order a few xtr'a I noticed mine was loose the other nigh also.
Skip, Thats just ain't fair...

Have you guys that are using the saltiga's in the ditch found that you have been able to cast significantly further with the saltiga's than with the big emblem pro's, is it a durability issue, or both?

for the saltiga it's a back cap, $25-35 bucks + shipping for aftermarket... $65 + shipping for Daiwa's own..

If its going to cost that much, throw the reel away, and buy another reel!!
I got a couple of reels missing that cover also. I keep them covered up with
duck tape.

Not really. The Emblem will probably outcast a Saltiga, but the guts are nowhere near as strong. The Emblem also can't hold a tight drag setting as well as the Saltiga--tends to loosen as you fight a fish.

Plus, the Emblem has that PITA external bail trip. Have to make sure the bail's clear or it'll flip over. The Saltiga bail will never flip. If Slip hasn't had his flip over as hard as he throws, you have to figure it'll never happen to the average caster.

I swear some of his casts were landing 60 yards in front of me standing on the other side :grins:
