Daiwa Infinity X Baitrunner back in action

Just a few pic's to illustrate a little clearer  the damage done to this Daiwa Infinty X Baitrunner after just a short drop, quite literally, to look at, this was all the damage done when the reel was dropped, spool first  . . . . . . .

Doesn't look too bad until you compare what it did to the oscillating worm gear once the handle was turned!

But happily as usual, Daiwa's service department were efficient as ever and had the new worm drive and a 'pawl' to me in just a couple of days to get this lovely bit of kit back on fighting form . . . . . . .

Facebook Page created . . . . . . . . .

As the title says. . . . . .  I have recently decided to have a dedicated FB page just because so many people use it and I'm in a bunch of fishing groups anyway so in for a penny and all that ! You can find me @

As you can see, at the time of posting my only friend is me :( so please visit and 'like' my page :) Thank you !

Some reel cleaning & servicing shots . . . . . . .

Just a few shots here to illustrate the average depth to which a common reel I service is stripped down to.

Here in the shots is a couple of 5010 shimano baitrunners being stripped down for a pre-river season service, can't wait myself now, 3 months is a long time ! Roll on the new season, and let's hope i have as good a season this year as last ;)

Start: basics off - handle, body screws etc.....

Rotor head and main side plate off. . . . .  baitrunner mechanism out and shaft out, worm drive disconnected. 

  

 Main reel body, level wind 'pawl' out and checked for wear, worm shaft also checked with magnifying glass, to be sure ;) 

 Main body ready to be re-assembled and re-greased. . . . . . .  rear drag also cleaned and checked.

Re-assembled and ready . . . . . . . . . . . . 

I usually take payment in cash but I will also take PayPal, I would just need to send an invoice to your Paypal email account, to be paid prior to collection.

Your reel(s) will be stripped, cleaned, re-assembled, bearings oiled & gears greased.
Prices above apply to working reels that do not need parts, for anything else please
email your question or problem if you need a reel repairing.

A good clean & service will often give a noisy grinding reel a new lease of life. Reels
that have been stored for months without a clean will often be stiff and noisy with
little or no lubrication inside, reels are often 'good as new' after a decent service.

Reels normally turned around within a week or sooner, please mail any questions to
me first (cuts time wasters out!) and I will provide my mobile number & further details.

I may also drop them off to you if you are reasonably local, (I am stretford based)
or further afield for a little extra. Over 20 years experience servicing reels & in the trade.

email or call to arrange an appointment.
