@@MattsSaltwaterFishing That's awesome, spoonbill and gar are as big as it gets here. The world record spoonbill was caught 30 miles from me & a 254lb gar was caught in my state but nothing like you have
Hell of a reel! Nothing like getting a reel from someone that took care of it. That reel looks brand damn new. Where did y’all get that drag set from and why no grease coating of the drag washers?
We ordered it from Alan Tani (he has his own website) and he sends them greased will Cal's Drag Grease. You can't see the grease on it because Ruben rubbed it in the carbon fiber washers very well and the excess came off after disassembling and reassembling multiple times.
Matt's Saltwater Fishing I see. It is tough to see that grease. That clicker is loud, but it surprisingly hard to hear when that wind is whipping and the surf is loud. Then again, I might sleep too hard. Lol
@@MADFISHINREELS ROFLMAO yeah that is true. Yeah with the carbon fiber washers the grease soaks into them when you rub it in. We might have a guy stay up on rod duty just in case.
Mine has a problem whenever you pull on the line the whole the spool and the real handle spins backwards like an anti-reverse switch I don’t know how to fix it
There's a guy here in San Antonio selling one just like this I think. For 80 bucks. He only has one picture up and it's the position from the top down. And listed as a diawa 900 H.
I pulled the trigger and bought another one he had in pretty great shape. not a speck of rust or corrosion on it. paid 120. What website Did you find the Alan Tani kit.? i looked him up on Google but no where to buy this kit came up
Sounds like a good buy. I think we got this 1 for right around $80 on a "best offer". We came across the drag upgrade on 1 of the message boards (I don't recall which one). You can send him an email alantani@yahoo.com and ask if he still has the drag upgrade for the 900H.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing i just spooled it with Jbraid 8 strand 100lb. 1000yds. I have never used that braid before period or any other type of braid for that matter. So hope that 1 works well. It's strictly gonna be used for beach land fishing only. No jetti maybe the pier but that's a big maybe
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing Thanks for the info brotha. I'm in town checking out my house here. I guess i brought the rain from San Antonio with me. Fixing to head to Roys. Hopefully i don't go crazy spending money. 🤑🤪🤪🤪
@@MADFISHINREELS ROFLMAO yeah the Avets are very nice. We compared the 2 and it's just a lot easier to reel in with the Avet ESPECIALLY with the low gear. But for a guy on a budget the a senator or Sealine is hard to beat.
I have a Penn Senator 12/0 and currently looking at a Daiwa SLT 50W. Which out of those would you prefer? Haven’t caught a shark yet but that’s my goal!
Only think I would recommend that you didn’t do is grease anything I use super lube and coat everything lightly and I use cals drag grease on the drag washers if you don’t coat anything it will get salt corrosion
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing it’s a ok reel I have plenty of accurate reels and penn internationals I use for big game I’m not sure how many big sharks this reel could take
Wish we had fish big enough where I live to need a reel like that
Down here we have some big sharks lurking around where people use 80 wides to catch the real big ones.

Hi! Did you renew any parts, such as the brake washers?
@@jensmatthaei3293 we only replaced the carbon fiber and metal drag washers with the kit from Alan Tani.
Mine has a problem whenever you pull on the line the whole the spool and the real handle spins backwards like an anti-reverse switch I don’t know how to fix it
Having trouble finding how to buy these on Alan’s site. Any recommendation?
I don't have his email anymore but that was initially how I got in contact with him to purchase them.
What year is that particular style reel manufactured? I have a 350H and cannot find any info on it.
It's an old reel, I couldn't tell you exactly when this one was made but it is the version w/ the aluminum side plates.
@@MattsSaltwaterFishing I have the same version. I'm guessing 80s.
How or where do I purchase a drag upgrade for sealine 900h
I ordered from Alan Tani, idk if he still sells them though
Thank you
@johnmiller7205 good luck! Try googling "Alan Tani 900H drag upgrade" if you are having a hard time finding it.

Stay tune for some shark fishing coming soon™. What is your budget shark reel?
NONE!! 😂! Santa said 🖕🏽! 😆 I want an Avet, but just got to roll with my Daiwa Sealine and Senator 14/0.

How much drag u think it has with the upgrade?
We measured it at 20lbs max. According to Alan Tani the ones he did got a bit more than that. For what we are using it for 20lbs of drag is enough.
Hey you know anyone that can yak my baits out bro?
I'm actually looking for someone myself. If I find someone I'll let you know.
I can but y’all never put there 🙄
@@trigfishing5058 sold to this young man right here!
That rule is:
You yak it out, you reel it in. 😂
@@MADFISHINREELS idk if I want to reel that heavy surf weight in with the 900H. 😂

We had already greased everything right before the video. We used Cal's as well.
I did the same upgrade and it’s still nib
Sounds like a collector's piece, nice!
