    While preparing the gears for the upcoming Pulau Ubin fishing trip, I realized that I have forgotten about the Surecatch Spinning Reel. Its Anti-Reverse was malfunction during the last fishing trip. Since I was doing the servicing and modification, I decided to strip the Surecatch up to find out if I could fix it.

    As I understand how the Anti-Reverse works and I know where is the mechanism is, the job was made simple and as soon as I removed the spool I detected the issues.

    A tiny spring that latched on the stopper was broken, I removed it and it looked familiar. Over the years I collected many parts from spoiled fishing reels and some electronic gadgets. This tiny spring resembled those I stripped off from a old damaged Sony Camcorder. 

    After some search I found one which is identical and as soon as I placed the new spring onto the Surecatch Spinning reel, the Anti-Reverse is back to its working condition.



    Some lubrication was done and the reel is ready for action on the Pulau Ubin fishing trip.

    Stay tuned for the Over Night Surf Casting Fishing Trip at Pulau Ubin, in which we had a full night of action and fun.

    While doing the servicing and upgrading of the Daiwa Millionaire Proteus 300, I didn't bother to avoid touching the fishing line with my oily hand as I had the intention to get them replaced once I completed the job.

    I got this Penn Tournament 18lbs fishing line which is IGFA Class, I bought this when the shop was having the sales, it was a steal. This fishing line is also being loaded on my Abu Garcia, I love the smoothness on casting as well as the toughness. 


    The old fishing line on the Daiwa Millionaire was stiff and was tainted with oil, this would reduce the chances of getting bite as fishes don't really like the smell of the oil.

    When respooling the line we need to take note that due to the Multiplier/Baitcast reel has the horizontal spool, the drum of the new line need to be placed horizontally as well. This will greatly help on minimized fishing line from twisting and entangled during casting, the "Bird Nest" scenario is what we hate to faced when fishing. The theory is that we need to load the new fishing line according to it's memory. On a Spinning reel we need to place the drum vertically as it has a vertical spool.


    I prefer to have the starting point at the center of the spool, I found that it's more balance and the fishing line is more even. A simple Uni knot will hold the line firm with another knot at the tag end. Slowly reel in from center to right then to left, the fishing line need to be tightly grab with another hand. Some anglers place the new fishing line drum inside a pail of water as they claimed more lines can be loaded into the spool. I never try it and I don't really buy that theory. 

    Now everything has done and I needs to prepare my gears for the coming fishing trip at Pulau Ubin. Stay tuned for the upcoming series of my overnight fishing cum BBQ trip at Pulau Ubin.
