The TAFE course I had enrolled in had a last minute cancellation, so I will be away for a week educating myself, expanding my skill set.
Definitely not fishing.

This TLD pinion bearing was in the worst condition possible.

This Certate SW 6000-P suffered a slight drama.

The last 10 TD Blacks I've had in were all suffering from the same issue....water entry causing internal corrosion.

It is best to avoid water contact with these reels as any form of water pressure will push the water inside.

The interesting thing is that the magseal oil is intact, but water has entered the clutch housing via other areas.

Pay attention to what goes on with your reel while out fishing.
It seems nowadays we need to take more care with our gear as it certainly does not last as long as it is used to under the same conditions.

There are only 31 reels in the workshop at the moment, so turnaround times are pretty quick.

The main reason bearings on the handle side become difficult to get off the main gear is this flaring in the metal caused by heavy cranking.

Finally did it.
1st person at the club to get double possibles at all 300 400 500 600 700 800yds, in a year, and we are only 5 months in.
Thats SO taken care of, now to work on SP.

This Caldia has copped some water inside the body.

If you want your reels to last then avoid saltwater contact, especially at pressure.
