Nah mate, i gave him positive positive. I only realised this a few weeks after i had bought it. Took it out for a session for some pinkies and it performed pretty well. If i had noticed it when i had bought it, i would've asked for a refund, but now its too late, so all i can do is give it a good service on the inside, and a nice paint job on the outside.
Cheers Daiwafreak

There was only 1 picture in the ad. The size wasnt big so you couldnt see all the touch ups.

1st Problem
Well guys, I was expecting it sooner or later, but the time has come. The reel has had its first problem. When the drag is put up to around 50+%, it becomes very rough when line is pulled out. It is sort of like the drag is stuttering. It lets a bit of line come out, then the spool holds it, then lets out a bit again. Very hard to explain, but hope you guys can help. Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers, Daiwafreak

Also forgot to mention, it makes a squeaking noise when the spool is rotated.

Hotrods is very generous bloke indeed. I'll give it a shot myself and if that doesn't fix it, I'll be sending it down to Hotrods. I also just opened the spool and realised that there is only 1 felt drag washer. Is it supposed to be like this? Any other tips will be appreciated.

Ok, I have degreased the whole reel and re-lubricated it. I have also cleaned the shaft and all the little things on the top of it. Cleaning out the old grease seemed to have solved the sticky drag. However, when i turn the spool clockwise after the drag has been tightened more than 50%, the drag knob goes with the spool which tightens the drag as the spool is turned. I also noticed that the drag is smoother, but much weaker now. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Cheers, Daiwafreak

 your missing drag washers and the spool knob is rubbing on the spool then tightening it up.
