Title: Help me with my knurled nuts
Post by: e_moneybags on May 15, 2017, 20:29:24 PM
So this weird reel set design results in the heel of my hand often resting on the double reel collar while fishing and as such it loosens up pretty regularly. Any tricks on what I can do with the nuts to keep em tight? I tried choking up an inch on the grip which helped somewhat. Thanks y'all!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170516/660972315bc836a08685eb869e5b1ec7.jpg)

Red Loctite works great.

Moleskin on the bottom of reel seat will help by creating more pressure/compression on the other moving working parts.

Knurled nuts can be serious but usually curable (although somewhat painful) Vice Grips!

Awesome thanks I was considering adding a 'shim' under the foot of the reel like a business card or something. Moleskin is a killer idea. Thanks.
