Daiwa certate 3012h

[Brams]

Hey guys just bought a 3012h, just had a few questions about it... Is there any way to increase the bearing count to reduce wear on the reel, or any other upgrades I can do to increase durability - protecting the reel foot, or smoothness, like carbontex? Also how does the mag seal limit my ability to self service it? Cheers guys!

I've got all of the 2013 certate models. I don't think u really have to do anything to limit wear on them mechanically to be honest. All of mine have gotten smoother the more I've used them.

You can add bearings in and below the spool also the handle can be upgraded to two bearings.

Carbontex the drag also, then it's nearly bullet proof.

Also, does anyone have an idea why the engine plates are all silver, and different to the photos of what is presumably the Japanese reels? Is there any way I can get the japanese engine plates?
