framey Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I hate a quick drag and want to convert a set of brand new windcast to non Qd goes against the norm lol has anyone done this or can I just add a spring in the cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekskii Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 best bet is to get on the phone to Garry at custom reels or South West Customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevtaylor Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 A friend of mine bought some expensive new shimmys with the latest QD Drag system. Awful - truly awful, there is no-where near enough adjustment between drag clicks, it goes from mid baitrunner to tight clutch with nothing inbetween, so you'd have to use your finger on the spool coz the setting just aint there - stupid idea gone too far IMO. My spod and marker are shimmy's with a QD but they have the small inner wheel for fine adjustment - so much better, best of both worlds yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
