    Re: Johnny morris bait casting reel

    LOL!! I hate it when they're right - it always seems wrong

    BTW I have 4 of these reels and absolutely love them - Until the finish starts to wear off then it is downhill. Don't forget to put tape over the holes on the spool it is very important on these reels! My suggestion is to keep some wax on them and never hang a plastic bait anywhere close to the reel the salt destroys them!! They cast smooth and reel in even smoother but once the finish gets a ding you'd better seal it up.

    You've been warned!! lol

    Maybe a stupid question but why do you tape the holes on the spool ?

    So no moisture gets in the reel through the spool. All that water builds up on the line and travels down the holes and into the bearings and gears. First thing I do to a new reel.
