daiwa sl30sh

[sless]

is a daiwa sl30sh a rock reel or not

i know of a few reels where a pin is shearing in the reel
a certain tackle dealer says daiwa charge £10 to replace them

if the pin keeps shearing shouldnt they do somthing about the problem

or has anyone else had problems with them

Cant fault mine Graham good alrounder but I have heard/read about that problem,it may have been a defect with a certain batch and as they say "mud sticks"

Sless ive got five sloshs i have had one for about six years and its had 3 shafts and 3-4 sets of bearings in, and the others have had the odd shaft, but they have all had bearings, the bearings just dont last, i never put my reels under water and if they do get wet i strip them down and oil them, and i always clean them with a damp cloth when i get in, even if its 3 oclock in the morning and im ****ed off because ive blanked. but i do rate them as a heavy ground reel, but it would be better quality if the shaft was made from a stainless steel shaft instead of brass.

sless have used my sl30s for all tpyes of fishing, mostly rock and beach and even tope fishing and had very little problem with them.

[sless]

well my mate used his 6 times and the shaft snapped
he took it back and the shop the manager said it shouldnt be used on the rocks
its down to misuse and abuse
what a load of codswallop

anyone know about warranty's on them

[jimmy]

well i have had the same sl30sh for about 5 years and never had a problem with it at all,it is only used for cliffs and rock edges.could`nt fault it at all.the guy in the tackle shop is talking a load of that brown runny stuff

Graham, have got 3 and have had them a long time. They are the old type and not the newer models, have no problems whatsoever.
Get them serviced at the end of every winter ( wash and grease) never had to replace a single part and hardly clean them after fishing (if it aint broke dont fix it)
