I'm curious about the frame (in general, not just yours) - its only purposes are 1. to hold foot to the axle, and 2. to hold a catcher/keeper for the fly line at the bottom of the reel. So why then are they always made to go around the spool? Wouldn't a more purpose-built design be stiffer and much lighter? Something like an integrated foot, axle, and catcher, and not too much else. A side benefit would be that no sand could get caught between spool and frame.

Bravo for making longer threads in reel foot instead of shorter in frame...Only your reel and Van Staal C-Vex has the right thing...You don't have any sort of cushion between draw bar head and ball bearing? Like coil spring , Beleville washers or even a small rubber gasket? Also between drag plate and spool are always small rubber gaskets to release the drag tension .

Eduardito, thanks for the complement. I have seen the set ups your referring to with the springs or bellevilles, and I intend to use that setup on the next reel for the channel (offshore lever drag), but on this reel, it seems to function flawlessly without it. In our little torture test the drag ran super smooth.

Awesome job. I just watch the whole series again. Makes me want to go out and buy a lathe and a mill. I wonder if the wifey will mind???

Thanks Jeff, turn a few nice rings on the lathe and I'm sure she'll let you keep it ;)

Good series! I like your sense of humor. Reel looks very solid, but curious, what does the reel actually weigh before backing and fly line?

Are you worried that 2x #4 screws is all that's holding your reel to the rod? What kind of force do you expect on the reel?
@jhreels8747 жыл бұрын
EFormance, not too worried about it, the size was initially selected by comparing it to production fly reels of the same class. The screws have over 3 diameters of engagement, and by my calcs the heads will pop off the screws at around 400 lb-f. each, so I feel pretty safe.

Do you have any concerns about corrosion caused by aluminum being used alongside stainless in an application where it will be exposed to water constantly? I assuming the anodizing helps but have you noticed any issues yet?

I'm making progress on my build using your plans. You've done great work! In the videos you used #4 screws but the plans use #2. Is there any particular reason to use one over the other? I just want to make sure before I drill my holes!
@jhreels8745 жыл бұрын
On which holes?
@TXManka5 жыл бұрын
From the plans, it looks like all of the screws are #2. The reel body to reel foot shows #2x.375", the main shaft to reel body shows #2x.125, the counterweight and handle screws are both listed as #2x.250" and the drag clicker screw shows #2x.1875". I didn't know if this was a typo or version changes from the video.
