okay, let's try this again
I tried posting this earlier but it didn't take. I kept getting that Website not responding message. Anyways, here we go again...
So last night or early this morning, I was reading Tres's site, "Hatteras Outfitters". My interest has been in the Abu 6500 CS Ulti-Mag. Everything was going smooth until I was reading about the care and maintenance of these reels.
Allright, let me be completely honest with you. I have no clue how Conventional reels work. The basis of what I know is if you turn the handle, the spool revolves and the levelwind moves back and forth. I don't know where the gears are, or the drag washers or how the magnets control the cast.
On the site though, Tres was talking about adjusting the magnets and centering the spool, oiling the reel and making the levelwind in synch with something or another. Frankly, I have no clue how to do this or what he is talking about.
I'm starting to think that conventionals aren't for me. How hard is all of this stuff? Will I be able to figure it all out? Do you think I should put off getting the 6500 Ultimag?
