I learned the grease trick to hold things years ago while changing water pumps on my outboard motors, great little hack.

I' e been using it a while, but someone showed me along the way - Happy to pass it on - Dennis

I own two TICA reels. I got my first very cheap on eBay and it turned out to be fantastic. I got a smaller TICA that is more modern and love it too. I’m pleased you can find parts for this reel. It is nice to have microdrivers with such long shafts. I like this reel. I have been impressed by my TiCA reels too. - Chris

They are well made and a class company to work with out in Washington.

I kept thinking Ambassador while watching this video , I like the Reel though .

[@2ndChanceTackle]

They are similar and both are quality products

It looks like an expensive aluminum frame reel. Why would they use plastic parts?

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Sometimes plastic is the right choice. Especially on the idler gears. That is a failsafe to prevent big damage to reels caught up in a snag. I just worked on a Penn reel that was basically trash because it had the metal on metal gearing and the snag wrecked the reel - Thanks - Dennis
