What's the best way to try to balance the rotor cups on these 2 reels?
The 706z seems to be the worst.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Might want to give that a try. NIB 04-27-2007, 05:41 AM There was a article in the NE Fisherman about a month ago. Take the rotor cup off an set it on the head of a roofing nail.Add weight to the opposite side of the line roller till it balances. I take a pc of 1/8" round rope lead an form it to the shape of the inside of the cup where the triangular thing is.I beat it flat an epoxied it in place.I take a awl an scratch the area where I want the epoxy to go an wipe everything down with alcohol to be sure it's clean so i have a good bond..30 min stuff in the syringe is fine..Do not go crazy with the epoxy.I will become a sand catch in there.Just enough to hold the lead an cover it to make it nice an smooth.. It works OK.After a while.I can barely tell the difference between the ones I have done an the ones I have left alone.. nightfighter 04-27-2007, 06:48 PM maybe something here... http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/showthread.php?t=39517 vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
