When you open it up make sure the casting brakes dont dissapear. I cant remeber if that model's brakes clip on or will fall off. Even though i have lost a couple it hasnt really affected the performance. On one reel i took 2 of them off and i think it helped the casting a bit. I havent felt the need to upgrade the "linefeeder" they seem to work just fine as is. Im a firm believer in smoothies, all my abu's get em right away. I didnt care for the carbonex washers dry. I have to try and oil them to see if it helps. Once you open it up once its a snap, and im not mechanically inclined at all. I oil the levelwind every couple trips and clean out the slot where the top of the levelwind attaches. Also, i oil the bearings a couple times a season, it takes a while cleaning them and heating them up.

Everything is better on the rocks.
