Thread: Need Reel Advice

Yes u can get replacement bearings, if it's shimano or Daiwa, directly of them, or safe a crap load and ger it online , u will need dimensions.
U can join braid, I don't like doing it but no reason not to, preferably further back than distance u cast, there is specific knots u can use , you tube it
The clicker is normally only a bit of Spring, on most reels it doesn't do anything , on some it can be part of anti reverse , not often and easy to check, just load it up
While u working on your braid, it's a good time to over end the line - use the stuff that was wound closest to the spool to become the new working line.
