Red Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Tony from Fishfinder Bait and Tackle can get the kit for you. He has upgraded quite a few Spheros reels. Cheers Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Red Thanks Red, do you know what the going rate is for the kit? I am happy to do the upgrade myself, I have the confidence now - after watching your skills at the Fishraider workshop Does this kit also include the Stella handle?

Red Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Firstly, I'm so happy the demonstration has given raiders the confidence to have a go As for the kit price, i'm not 100% sure but its cheaper than you would think. Give Shimano a call on 02-95262144 and ask for Tim or Chris. Regards Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUKEC Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi I purchase an upgraded spheros about 2months ago and have had only one fish hit that pulled drag, however the drag doesnt appear real smoothe. Should i expect this being that it is only a spheros or should i be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'd be concerned. The Spheros should be smoother with the upgrade. I'd get someone to have a look at it. I agree with Keepin Tabs....mine is still very smooth with the upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
