Looking to get some new Spod reels - would these be up to the job??
|
|

They may not need it, just like some of the Penns, but I'd like to see one of the reel companies doing upgrade kits for these, like they do other reels. It'd be a much cheaper route to a very good, well priced reel.

Absolutely love mine, incredibly smooth, line lay is excellent, make my emblems feel like coffee grinders. I dont think for the money you'll find better, I think other brands that charge more are no better than the obsidian, I spoke with future reel servicing and they compared the build quality to a power aero but at alot less money. They see reels everyday so I trust their judgment.

Two months in with mine and can't fault them at all. My 5000ts don't come out the cupboard.

Had mine over 12 months with zero issues so far
|

Only used mine maybe 5 or 6 session. Plenty of fish on them but zero noise yet

Looking at buying a set of these to upgrade my Shimano 5500 xtd. Slight concern with the reports of noise and re greasing though 
|
|

The first thing I noticed on my Obsedian reel is that it makes a lot more noise when spinning compared to my 23 Emblem 35 QD, time will tell if i keep it/replace my emblems with them
I can't say anything about the fast drag yet because I had two runs on my other rods with the Emblem reels

So.. Can we re grease them? Or no point as it will come out again?

Yeah looks like the grease has ‘come out’ more on this one with noise

They all do it eventually apparently,its the gearing inside

Noticed one of my bail arms is loose or has dropped in compared to the others.. It looks like it’s dropped down. Not sure if the screw is loose. The roller seems aligned though. Maybe it was made this way. Anyone noticed if all their reels aren’t identical

I’ve noticed this on one of my reels now after slight use. Did you find a solution?

Did you re grease yours / sort that noise out? 1 of mine is doing it now, only been used for 2 weeks in France.

Does anyone know a company that makes self fit wooden handle knobs for the obsidian? Weston do folding handles but don’t really want to spend £240 on those and FAF Customz don’t do self fit.
Thanks.
