yes indeed they were, nowadays they are considered disposable.. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching and your comment

They are great and still made today Thanks for the comment

That's great That sounds like a really good reel

@@NLoutside75 Yeah. It is.

They are great reels Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching the video This reel is basically the same as the goldcast GC 80 The only difference is the newer ones have graphite frames instead of metal The 80 in the name is that is the suggested line is 8,lb test The gc100 is the next size, 10lb The largest is GC 120 What models of Daiwa spincast do you have? All the goldcast reels are pretty much the same These are the only Daiwa spincast with an oscillating spool I will certainly do a video on servicing this reel and will let you know when it's uploaded Thanks for watching

I just uploaded a new video of a Shimano cb100 that you may enjoy

@@NLoutside75 great video! Thanks for posting. I really enjoy your commentary and calming way of talking.

@@NLoutside75 The numbering system you mentioned makes sense. Have you ever used the medium or large goldcast? I have the Thailand-made Daiwa GC100, and 3 used Japan-made Daiwa 508RLs to tinker on. I compared the schematic diagrams and they are identical except for the graphite versus metal frame, as you mentioned. So far workmanship seems the same. One thing I got hung up on for a while on disassembly was the removal of the shaft bearing. It is reverse-threaded. I wrapped it in a rag and used locking pliers to remove. Now I'm waiting for some reel oil from amazon for the bearings and bushings. Already have marine grease for the gears. What lubricants do you use for your reels?

@@andrewgerry1188 I haven't used the larger ones I've seen pictures of all 3 side by side and there is a significant difference in the small one to the largest one Sounds like you have a good supply of these reels For lubrication I would say use reel oil or any light oil Sewing machine oil is a great choice as well as gun oil For grease I wouldn't use marine grease unless it's made for reels That kind of grease as well as automotive grease is way too heavy and will slow the reel down I use Penn precision grease Is is blue and it's described for reels Most sporting goods stores sell fishing reel grease And there are many different brands out there

Your reel will be bigger than mine There are 3 sizes I have the smallest one You will have the largest one Take it apart clean and lubricate it and I'm sure it will be great Thanks for the comment

I was looking for a 510rl but this one showed up on ebay and i wasnt quick enough to buy the last one so i jumped on it 😊 I am also hoping that the 512 will have a bit more drag capacity!?! ​@@NLoutside75

@@NLoutside75 I finally received my reel . 🤩👌 Outta the box, it was very rough, with an old dry line. Opened it up, and i found the same thing that was in my 70's Daiwa Minicast , old hard grease and extrmelly gunked parts and washers. Now that its all clean, oil change has been done (😄) and the trilene XL is on there, its A SUPERB reel. Much better that my Zebco Z03 pro in terms of quality and on couple other little things that makes the GC the ultimate king. This one does not say in what plant it was assembked but on my minicast MC59 says SEIKO on it. No wonder why the quality is up there ! Thanks for the nice video you made, it convinced me to pull the trigger on one ! Fun fact, i am wearing my Seiko SKX009 as i write this.

Thats awesome ​@@MxRyder19 They really are superb reels, much better than almost anything on the market today The first thing i do when i get a reel is strip it down, get rid of the old grease and lubricate it The country tha it was made in should be on the reel foot on the bottom The oldest ones say japan They made some in Korea and Thailand too If it says Seiko it is probably the oldest ones Hope you enjoy your reel and catch lots of fish with it

Yes I've seen those They are much smaller reels Similar to the Daiwa minicast They don't have an oscillating spool I don't know why they made the handle like that Looks goofy to me

Without seeing it I can't say much about it I did have a Garcia Conlon casting rod many years ago I'm guessing yours has a cork grip like the one I had It's probably from the 60s or 70s I think you got a great rod and it's something to hold on to

Hi there I haven't had that problem you are describing I fish in pretty cold water so there isn't much weeds or grass growing in the water I'm guessing that this build up will occur over time with any spincast reel Do you have the same problem with other reels? Seems like the only solution is to periodically clean the area out Thanks for commenting

I wondered the same thing I don't think it would work very well I only use 6 or 8 pound mono or fluorocarbon I think that if you go much heavier than that it don't cast very well Then again I only use light lures May be worth a try Thanks for watching

The bullet supposably can handle braid. Someone told me the sniper by profishiency can also handle braid can't confirm either though

​@@TravisTheSavage I really don't see how one spincast can handle braid opposed to another They are all designed the same As well I don't understand why anyone would put braid on one In my experience 4 to 8 pound line is best

It's called a pistol grip rod and they can only be found used nowadays

​@@NLoutside75 Just to let you know, DAIWA has a rod called "Sweepfire" that has that handle. Look for it online stores such as Cabelas. They might still have stocks of new ones. Thats where i found mine and its a 25$ rod. Good quality for the money. I found a Med. Fast 6' 8-17 one and i love it.

Braid simplicity won't cast well at all No distance at all I didn't know why but it doesn't work well at all

@@NLoutside75 mmm do you know if the new version of this reel is any different than your old made in Japan one?

@@cleankiller9 the newer versions are a graphite body instead of metal I think they are identical besides that There is a new version out now it's called a GCA Three sides available The new ones are made in China so may not be as good

​@@NLoutside75thank you for the info bro

@@cleankiller9 you're welcome

I've had no issues with it All my rods have the same number of guides

I'll check it out! Thanks
