SERVICING — Bogan Sharpeye
This is an unknown brand that has hit our shores and like everything from China, it looks great from a distance, has all the features that Daiwa and Shimano have, and yet, they come at an irresistibly low price.
This was a pre-owned reel, and the new owner complained about its lack of drag power despite having had modified drags, and wanted a faster spindle speed so that he can experience a full blown birdnest until his thumb gets educated! The reel felt smooth to crank, and the bearings were not corroded, but are covered with a rather thick oil. It all look to me that this has potential to be tuned into a very usable reel without having to spend much more than some solvent, compressed air and good oils… pulled some line out on a spring balance and at full lockdown, it read less than 500g (1 lb)! Wow, something had gone miserably wrong with the drag modification methinks.

The first time I attempted a drag modification I wasn't thinking and used shimano reel oil on the washers. way too little friction, no drag pressure and very lumpy. Check the washers have the correct grease.
