Capt Mullet's reel
I had Capt Greg Lambert's CH101BSV sent to me. He wanted to see the difference of the before and after in performance. I said sure! So here it goes.. When I got the reel I put all brakes in and spun the handle. Got 12 to 15 second spool spin. Went out and casted with a variety of lures. First test was a 1/4oz jig with a 4" bassassin, got 35yds with 2 pins out on a Castaway 7ft light action popping. Next I switched to a 1/2oz egg weight and got max 38yds. Then i switched to a 1/2oz topwater. Got 48yds max. I got his reel apart and separated. Will clean all parts and show picts before and after. Hope this helps peeps with questions on how to clean a reel and make it better..Dip
I'll post up picts tomorrow night in process and afterwards to show the difference... Thanks Capt Mullet for allowing me to use your reel and help others benefit...Dip

How do you think I get them spinning so fast? Fine cut only. If I go long cut it gets caught in the shields..LMAO!

Ok, I went out to the park this afternoon with the boys. After getting the reel dialed in with two pins out( that means I had a couple of professional over runs..LOL) I was able to achieve 64yds with that same topwater w/o hooks. That translates into 16 extra yards (48 feet) 33% greater casting distance. I'm not sure what lb test the Power pro line was. Looked like 30lb...Dip

Hey Dip, Before you put that thing back together, Try blindfolding your self and spinning in circles about 10 times.
I bet you wont miss a screw or a spring and that reel will be smokin !
