oldschoolbasser Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Pete,I've tried the V-spools,and the do give you a little more casting distance due to their lightness,and decreased line capacity,which also cuts down on spool weight.What model 4600 are you using? A bearing upgrade,or bearing supported worm gear will also increase casting distance.I've upgraded most of my reels with the C5 worm gear,ABEC 5 or 7 bearings,and bearing supported cog wheel.I did a reel upgrade tutorial using these parts.Let me know if this helps you out,Oldschool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooksLikeSinbad Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I upgraded my 4601 last year with ceramic bearing, bearing-supported idler gear and drag. If I was going to do it again, I would do the worm gear upgrade instead of the drag or do both. I really enjoyed taking the reel apart and rebuilding it.
