Wow dude you are the random KZfaqr thats helps in an special problem, the sound is now crispy and nice thx

You have done it again Victor, this was exactly the information i needed. On "2021 buyers guide - ultralight reels" video i told you about my European 2020 Legalis LT and that reel don't have ANY cuts on spool for acoustic so the already quiet drag sound of LT reels is even more quiet on that Legalis. You can hear absolutely nothing.. So thank you again maestro for this video, i will tighten the spring just a bit and i will remove a little bit of grease so the trade off won't be that much of a deal

It took longer than expected to tune in and keep the tail end perfectly balanced not too outside not too inside, finally got the best sound, thanks a lot

I think theres very few people in the world with the knowledge and attention to detail you have of these reels. Daiwa needs one of you in every department. From start to finish. I think they would produce much better reels.

Just did it and IT works! Better sound! Thanks for the tip!

I got right to work. Revros didn't need much, but the Exceler saw a benefit in amplified sound. Thanks for the informative tutorial.

Just did this to my Fuego and then compared it to my Exceler that I have yet to do. Night and day difference! Doing them both right now!

Perfect!!! Best man on KZfaq

This was very informative. I like mine as it is but seeing the mechanics behind the pitch change is really cool. Friction would certainly change how loud it is while it's clicking. I can also see how if you went to far that tip would protrude too far out to clear the rim its made to slide back behind. It would probably pop out of those slots before long. I think it's funny how you have found a way to change that addictive clicking sound we all love...lol. Victor, how funny would it be to mic that thing up and play it over a PA system out on the lake....lol That would be priceless.

Thank you my man..It work on reel..❤

Great information!!!! Thank You for posting!!!

bro on a long life this thing will get quiter because the more it runs and the more it get to it's original form

This is what im waiting for thx victor 🤟

A loud clicking drag is nice to hear my shimano saragosa 10000 sounds so nice

We love Hollywood drag ❤

Thanks for the information

Big ups

Awesome, thanks. Minor adjustments are best, “measure twice, cut once” as carpenters say.

Good video Victor.....I am sure you know you can buy an aftermarket setup for that. I thought of doing it at one time but my days of tinkering with reels is over....old eyes don't work as they used to...LOL.

You are a drag fan 😁👍

This drag clicker system is so much better than the cheap Shimano reels. My nephew used my Sienna and must have got it a little wet in the salt water and the little spring mech on the spool corroded and was not recoverable, I had to cut the little thing to free up the spool. So now its sitting in the rod rack, usable but no audible drag

I just adjusted the drag on my daiwa caldia 2500 following your guidance and it sounds much better now. And yes, there is a fine balance here between the loudness and roughness. I opened the thing too wide at the first try and while it sounded great afterwards, it felt extremely rough. I could feel every click where the metals bit each other. Then I managed to narrow the gap slightly and got the balance right. So thank you sir. You made me a happy man. BTW, is there a way to adjust the drag on Shimano Ultegra reel too? 🤣

Nice video Victor, I was waiting for this one! I’ve tuned the drag on some of my Daiwa reels. I also stuffed up one or two and ordered spare leaf springs from PLAT. If you’re going to do this I’d suggest ordering a few back up springs in case you get it wrong.

What is your thinking on removing the special grease on the felt washer that Luvias has on its drag ,is that a good or bad idea?

Thanks for the tips Victor, have a ballistic fw going to do knob and spool bearings upgrade but will throw this in the mix. Free play on my reel knob really noticeable you can actually feel it. Any idea on size of handle shims? Going with hedgehog 4 bearing kit. Have to watch your upgrade video again! Thanks and nice catch!

❤❤

Thoughts on the TFO panfish rod? Specially the ultra light models?

One question, I know is not from this topic but still...does your Certate have that "raspiness" sound when you turn the handle? It's barely noticeable but I can hear it :/ I own LT 5000D size one(sorry for my bad English)

Question: do you think that closing your drag and leaving it like that during storage is harmful? My friend says he opens his drag when he puts away his reels.

I would also guess that 300m of braid on the spool will sound different to 200m of mono in terms of notice dampening

Now the real question... Can you add a clicky to the bail open? A big pet peeve of mine that it's silent

Bruh should I pick shimano stradic fl 🤔 or buy daiwa reel ? Because my budget range is around stradic fl price

Very excellent video. You can also find steel wire and carefully make your own. Also, your video presages the popularity of some of the tackle you evaluate. It was difficult to find the Legalis after your 1st video. You also know how hard it is to find the UL Presso after its Video. The KUYING TS642UL is now out of stock. You viewers take you seriously. You should do a Let's Go Brandon T-shirt.

O-M-G😨

Great!won't this tuning stop the rotation of the spool unnecessarily

Full name is this reel

I did that to my daiwa and when i got a big fish running really fast and ended up with a broken clicker

thank you... shimano and daiwa are just being pain in the ass that's all. shimano drag sound slightly better but not by much. their engineers probably get away easy telling their boss that drag smooth cannot sound good. they should try a little harder.

This guy could have made the same point in his video I’m 3 minutes not 12

Its not working on my kix caldia 4000 custom....😑😑😑

It’s just too flimsy to begin with, bad design daiwa .

just buy shimano, thats it
