Freams
Freams is a Japanese version of Capricorn. Capricorn is regarded by TackleTour.com. So, I bought it.
Freams2000 Daiwa's 02 model with metal body and sidecover. It's good one. Daiwa is favorable in the exportation and avoided a deficit after an interval of the 6 years. Made in Thailand. |

Large diameter spool Its aluminum spool lip of gold colored is not good idea. But its original was Shimano... It can reel 65cm per 1 rotation of handle in spite of 4.7:1 ratio. It is a effect of large diameter 45mm spool. The rotation is stable. It is still good although the lip should be straight like Zebco , Mitchell , ABU33/44 , Lew etc. |
|
Rotor brake Its bail does not block your finger. |
|
Bail stopper There is a stopper on opposite of bail-arm. It decreases the impact to bail tube , when it closed. |
|
Bearings Its pinion is supported by 2BB. |
|
New flat winding system It is simple and low cost and smooth and silent and..... But I want to increase the stroke a little. Its stroke is shorter than spool. |
|
Line roller bushing The plastic bush is never rust. I think it is better than BB. Good select. By the way, Bush is a destroyer ! |
|
Cost down All of its screws are tapping screws. I am anxious for the screw. |
Although it was low cost , it is good reel. Although it is Japanese reel
, its bail tripping is smooth. Although it is Japanese reel , its handle-knob
is good.
By the way it has become " nallow spool ".
What was the " long spool " ?
What is a " boom " ?
