Ryobi Dynafight

The innovative spinning reel by `70s Ryobi .

Dynafight1000
Dynafight was born in 1979 . It was a innovative spinning reel for new " sport fishing " . In those days , lure and flly fishing were fresh generation fishing .

New drag
Its drag knob is built on the handle . Ryobi said , " Angler can adjust drag with keeping the handle " .
But angler cannot keep the handle " knob " when he adjust the drag ....

Moreover the smoothness is not good because there are gears between rotor and drag washers .

Although it is not main task , line pick-up is easy by this " rotor " drag .

Knob
In those days , Japanese most anglers wanted special gimmick handle , the large wooden knob , one touch crank , right-hand reeling .... But Ryobi used small light twisted knob on left-side crank and it did not have one touch .

Line guide
Ceramic roller guide with durable resin bushing .

Bail spring
Its spring is 3 turns . It is durable .
Spiral face gears
Spiral face gears for new drag system .
Although it is not silky smooth , it is hi-efficiency and light good feeling .

Oscillation
It is designed for new drag system . But it is noisy .

The smoothness of drag and gears were not enough (especially the drag ) . Basic is important .

But I like its innovative spirits .
