Diawa saltist 30bg brakes

[Nooo Fish]

Alright everyone.

I've got the above reel and I'm wondering which brakes are which. I've had a few birdies so I'm wondering if the black blocks will be slower than the red ones that's in it.

Cheers for any help.

best thing to do with a saltist is get it magged control the reel way better

The biggest ones will make the reel slower. 2 will make it slower than one etc....

The reds are the ones with the most breaking force, then black are medium,
and i may be wrong but im sure you can get white/clear for fast running.
Check the pins dont have a slight burr at the ends as the blocks wont fully
engage with the breaking ring, also no oil on blocks or breaking ring.
If your stuck i can have a look for you.

Thanks a lot Neil. I've only had the reel 2 weeks it must just be me being poo at casting cos it's got the red brakes in.
