daiwa saltiga sa20 upgrades
 

hey guys, interested in getting carbontex washers for the reel. Is this a good upgrade? Can anyone suggest a shop in nj that can do the work?

Also, you guys that fish these, are there any other upgrades that you would suggest?

Ps. This reel will be used mainly for tog, but maybe some seabass and fluke.

Thanks

Absolutely recommed it. Worked on my buddie's SA20, swapped out the paper looking stock washers for greased carbontex washers and while i was at it swapped out the bearings to ceramic ones and it was so much smoother. It wasn't too difficult either.

I had both my 15 and 20 rebuilt after 5 years without any servicing and thousands of fish. I had the drags upgraded to carbontex, bearings replaced and also put a power knob from Alan Tani put on because the bearing in the handle was shot. I highly recommend the power knob if you like a larger handle.

You may already have carbontex washers in it. I believe the newer models already have it. I did mine but when I opened it they were there already. I replaced them anyway. It's SIMPLE to do yourself


Sorry ......mine was a saltist
