New Reel

[Davem]

Got my eye in a Daiwa saltist lever drag , anyone use them ? ( looked at the Snowbee 12 as well , are spare parts an issue , don't seem common )

Just replaced a bearing in my Snowbee Dave, cost me £3

Not sure about other spares though.

[Davem]

Surprised you parted with 3 quid Keith 😊 , have they got a parts/service centre in the UK ?

I have a pal who swears by his Snowbee reels and has both the 10 & 12 versions which he uses in our water and Norway. He's replaced a couple of bearings over the course of a few seasons which he buys from a bearing supplier in Cramlington for just a few quid.
It seems the bearings are regular "off the shelf" components so it's nice to know they are readily available if you go for the Snowbee.

[Davem]

Thanks for that , looking good for the 12 I think , like the one piece Ali frame as well

I've got the single speed saltist 20ld. It's fantastic. Smooth and owt, nice big drag and the 7.3-1 ratio is spot on for getting your gear back up.
