I was looking at another shimano schematics and saw this warning. Does it mean sometimes they adjust the washers during production or qc?

I was also scared at first but if you have a basic understanding of schematics and have some experience disassembling stuff it doesn't feel so hard. I kinda panicked a little as a few pieces fell apart when I took out the pinion gear but it wasn't too hard to figure out where everything will go after looking at the schematics. It also helped that I am an engineer who worked at manufacturing custom machinery years ago . Buying a cheap second hand reel was also a very good idea to gain confidence on. Now I feel like I can service most spinning reels. I put them back in but instead of 1 washer I put 2 of them as there were before. They are really thin indeed and probably won't matter if there is one or two.

I was going to say the same, pelagics like bonito and tuna swim so fast that it is impossible to retrieve faster than them. However, lure action can make a difference instead of the speed, like moving the rod tip from side to side.

I recently bought a second hand daiwa 20 legalis 3000 and I thought it would be a good practice to service it as it wasn't in the best shapes. I had no issues with disassembling and reassembling even though it was my first time to service a reel. However, I found 2 extra washers inside the reel. There were two oscillating gear bearing washer stacked on top (part 56), and two pinion ball bearing (A) washers (part 40), one in front of the pinion ball bearing (part 39) and one behind of it. Daiwa 20 LEGALIS LT 3000D-C (reelschematic.com) As I had no experience with servicing before, I put everything back to where I found, and assumed someone might have put there for a reason. The reel feels crazy smooth now and I have no complaints, but is it a good idea to leave them there as opposed to the schematics?

Got it. I suppose you chose the location based on the wind direction not to cast directly into the wind. Finding good spots is my biggest problem right now because I am not familiar with the whole area and don't have heaps of time for scouting. You can trust me on the research as I am obsessed in researching things and love digging deeper.

Almost true, except only a tiny part of my country is in Europe most consider it a middle east country which is unfortunate due to obvious reasons. I am one step ahead about the moon phases and tidal movements, already did my homework. The only part about tides I am not experienced with is the relationship with the fishing activity. I use tides4fishing to check the tides and the wind. Do you have a better source instead? Looking forward to meet you!

Saturday sounds good but first I need to ask my wife's permission She might also be interested in joining us if it is ok with you. She is probably more interested in eating the fish, but it won't be a good idea to eat anything from inner west. Sunday I am free until noon probably or later after 7-8. I am still waiting for the light ros to arrive but I reckon it will be there by the end of the week. Thanks a lot. Edit: looks like we have olans for Saturday afternoon between 2-6, but I am happy to go in the morning. Or we can plan for next week or weekdays after work, I am usually at home by 5 30. Thanks for the offer. I have no safety equipment for rock fishing unless it is relatively safe inside the harbour with no big swells.

Thanks mate, I have already read all if those before creating this post, some of it a few times actually I live in Chatswood, and 35 so old enough to drive. I have a few medium-heavy rods for casting metals which I love doing in the mornings at Blues Point, but recently bought a daiwa legalis 3000, and ordered a 2-4kg rod (veritas 4 7' 2-14 cast weight) because casting light lures was really hard with my 6-10 kg rod. I am also getting a 6lbs braid and a 10 lbs leader soon. I have a few different size soft plastics like grubz, shrimps, and 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 jigheads ranging from 1/2 to 1/6 (I know they are heavier than ideal but it was the only way I could cast with my previous rod). I can get some lighter ones and different plastics based on advice.

Your name: Matt Your Location: Sydney Lower North Shore Fishing technique: soft/hard plastics Availability: Weekdays at night or some days around dawn, weekends also Preferred location: anywhere within 30 minutes drive, might go further on weekends for longer sessions Provide your own gear? Yes Provide your own boat? No I had fished all my life using deadbaits and have been trying recently plastics but I am getting no hits. I don't know where and when to go fishing and it is pretty random right now. I am looking for someone to go fishing with, preferably landbased because I don't think having a boat or a kayak is a possibility in the near future. Also I didn't grow up in Sydney so I am still a newbie in terms of location, tides (I am from Mediterraneans o tides are a very new variable for me), ideal times to fish etc. I have already bought a few soft plastics and hard bodies and I am open to suggestions if I need to buy more. I am obsessed with catching fish on lures and won't stop until I master it. Right now spending hours a day reading stuff and watching videos but I believe having an experienced fishing buddy to show me how to do it correctly will be much more effective.

Not livebait, I didn't get a proper look but it seemed like a baby octopus style plastic with on top and they were attaching a dead garfish to a few hooks at the bottom.

You can try blues point but it gets very crowded in the morning. I have seen 4 kings getting caught in the last week. All were caught on baits though. 1 was caught on garfish spinning jigs by some kids, basically putting dead garfish on hooks and casting retrieving them like jigs. Genius idea.

I am also considering to get veritas but I was thinking of getting the 2-4 kg one. Do you think 1-3 kg is better? I never had any experience with ultra light rods before. I am worried that I might break it easily.

I wonder which side is better for casting. Or both similar?

I am planning a trip with my wife to hawkesbury river and I would like to learn if you know any fishing spots we can try for casting metal lures and soft plastics. Aim is to catch some legal size pelagics. I am considering akuna bay, illawong point or cottage point but never been there so I don't know if they are good spots for these fish. Ideally places that are not very rocky to avoid snagging as she is a newbie. Do you have any other location recommendations?

Hi guys newbie here. After years of bait fishing with tiny hooks when I was a kid, finally decided to try land based shore jigging. I live in lower north shore and usually go Sydney harbour or middle harbour. Still trying to learn jigging and only caught 1 fish after trying for a couple of weeks. I hope I will get my first king soon But I am still hapy to catch any tailor, salmon or jewies coz I love eating them all, especially tailors. In the country I grew up they are considered a delicacy.
