if you wont open it,,, you wont know.
theres only about 6 big parts inside...

all the daiwas are easy to service. the STT are just the same as the SL/SLX/GWZ

Nice looking reels the new Daiwas,heard they are so smooth!!
Most anglers dont have a bad word to say on these reels.
But beggining to hear a few reports of seizing up and drags that wont tighten down to reel back in etc so im waiting to hear a few long term reports before splashing out on a pair. Far more good reports than bad so far.
If the reel is new(3 outings) id send it back and ask for a new one.

not sure skippy, only had mine apart to oil the bearings, not a broken brake block or something? i had one jam my old slosh years ago.

no drag probs on mine (Hugh touches would quite quickly!) so far, still as smooth as the day i got it.

i mean it shouldnt be anything major
maybe it could just need some grease.

since you have it apart ANYWAYS, you might as well just brush grease all over the insides. lol
