Hi Guys,, my saltist has been in use for about 5 yrs now and when i get it back from servicing the ratchet is almost as loud as a torium howver with use it tend to soften out...has anyone out there managed to reslove this or come up with mods to improve the rachet loudness.

if you look at reefmans post comparing the saltist to the torium, you will notice the satlist has a copper setup, thus all i can think is the copper must be bent close? or the part replaced. the copper could also have become soft. i have also noticed on another daiwa that the actual whole mechanism moves up towards the side plate and less contact is made. thus the softer sound?

I opened up my saltist and torium and understand exaxctly what u mean now...can anyone manufacture a part out of a more rigid material maybe steel...or has someone already done so.

taking into consideration the reel is 5years old, just replace the part. would just be cheaper than trying to make the part unless you have a engineering friend?
