Studio Ocean Mark Drag System Rebuild - Better than Shimano Stella drag system
Mark Harris:
This is definitely a No Limits spool Andy..... Identical to the older one in all respects bar those screws, and with all the right packaging. It is "new stock" which has just arrived at the tackle dealer. We might have ordered from the same place. In any case I would be very interested to know if your new one has the same difference.
Mark Harris:
Gotcha Les and thanks very much for that. And for the little tip about the washer stack.
I guess SOM regard this as a design improvement.

Mark, Just got mine, yes the new version with no screws! got one off by hand the other will require abit more work.
Mark Harris:
Good to hear Andy. Mine took some loosening first time but I just about managed it by hand by gripping through a cotton cloth.
I must say that one twist by hand is definitely a design improvement on removing those screws.
Andy Rowe:
Probably just a 'one off' occurrence, but i was servicing the drag stack on one of my (yet to be used) SOM 16k NL spools last night and found 4 or 5 small sharp metal shavings between metal and carbontex washers and also in the bottom of the drag housing. It looks like they were left in from the spool machining process. A slight error in QA/QC on this spool only, none of the others I own have this problem.
I would hate to see what these shavings would have done to the drag stack under heavy drag and a big fish. Apart from that the spool is a very cool piece of design innovation as Enoch originally stated.
