Ok some advice information


Recommended Posts

Seeing the Diawa Laguna 1000 from around 10 years ago has basically gone to a better place not sure how I missed the corrosion on it . I do have a shimano sienna in better shape from that age and a larger reel I’m using . If I decide to go looking for a better quality 1000 reel which isn’t to much money but great for flicking hardbodies around any clues ?

hope that makes sense

I don't know who stocks  Okuma spinning reels in Sth Aust Micky, but I found this reel to be a very reliable reel. It's not a large reel and it's light weight and very reliable,it's really not all that much bigger than a 1000 reel either.

cheers

Hi Micky. My son in law has been very happy with his Shimano Nasci. Might be worth a look as they do a 1000 size. Regards, HBt.

Ok this reel I remembered in the tackle shop yep 1000 size bought it and it’s spooled with j8 braid 6 lb hopefully sometime this week I’ll test it out .

So idiot me and many other fishers I learned today I clean my reels the wrong way . I’ve now learned to wipe reel over with a damp cloth then a dry cloth .  Now the issues with the Diawa Laguna 1000 that I had ( besides the rust I found on the handle ) since 2014 new . The size 1000 of this Diawa Laguna compared to a Shimano Sienna 1000 of the same age it was half the size basically. Made the spool of the reel to small to handle 6 lb braid I was using . This new 1000 reel is a better size . Will clean my reels differently from now on .
