A great start for a great day. You bet, and so were several other guy s who were watching the whole episode. The Phos has fast become the top selling reel in my shop. The spool, frame, foot and dial are all aero space grade aluminum bar stock. Springs and screws are type 302 stainless, the only stainless steel springs available.
R emoving the spool and reversing the drag is simple.
The spool is removed by depressing the center button and turning it to the left. This feature insures positive locking of the spool to the shaft. To reverse the retrieve simply remove the screw from the pawl and turn the pawl over so either the L or the R is up, replace the screw and then remove the three screws on the cog pawl and turn it so the L or R is up. Done, it s reversed. I can t tho.
