Mac,

Thanks for the tips. I just got in the mail a 704Z from an auction on eBay and hopefully be getting a 704 in the mail in the next day or two. I went out and got some of those washers and now my 704Z is 'timed' correctly - with the handle in the proper position for casting the spool is all the way extended. Without the washer 'shim' the spool was almost all the way in with the handle in what I would consider the casting position.

Now I just have to get the manual bail for it - right now the bail does not snap back when you start to reel. Want to convert it to bailess anyway.

Pete
