Dennis, I have two 7850 RLH reels new in the box with everything and another one that has no box. These are the big saltwater reels with the push button AR switch. They are beautiful well made reels. I also have a 7650 RL it is an equally well-made reel. You simply can’t beat these vintage Daiwa reels. Scoot got a good one! I have hot-rodded a number of Daiwa reels but they were mostly Siver series reels - 9000C 50oC 70oC and 1000C. I’ve also done it on a few other vintage reels as well. I’m not overly fond of snap rings. I once had one shoot right into my eye which was absolutely no fun! I think that “HRL” might stand for Handle Right or Left. Is that correct? This was a great video about vintage Daiwa reels. I have 79 vintage Daiwas in my reel collection so you know I like them a lot! - Chris
Hey Chris, I also have a mint 7650 HRL, do you know if they make Carbon-tex drag washers for it?, looking to beef up my reel. I think you're correct, "Handle right-left"
Love Daiwa reels. Just sound solid stuff, even the new stuff.
Same here! There is a reason that the top three - Penn, Shimano and Daiwa are the top three!
I like these old metal reels
Me too, as you know
Dennis,
Another fantastic
video! Thank you.

YW - thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis
Dennis, I have the Daiwa 7850 HRL and it is a fine
Hi Dennis, A Nice Job on A Nice Diawa Reel.
Thanks 👍
This is definitely one of the best old Daiwas.
Love the 7000 series! I’ve got a 7290, a 7600, a 7850, and a 7550HRL
It sure is! Quality reels built to last and a nice design as well!
Great design and production achievement…hasn’t seen much work…
Thank you! Cheers!
