Daiwa Moonraker / refurb ?

[W.olly]

Got myself my old Daiwa moonraker beach caster, i used to use it with a multipyler, but my question is what is it designed to be used with? I see beach caster are rigged for either fixed spool and/or multiplyer ( am i correct in thinking it is the position of the butt eye ?).

I have had this rod for over 20 years i think, it does need a refurb and i am thinking on this as i used to enjoy using it, i found it easy to use with a multiplyer as apposed to a stiiffer newer rod. But if i refurb it i will be replacing the duplon grips and was wondering if i can set it up for a multiplyer better.

If i remember corectly,the moonrakers were rung for multipliers , the only real diferance for fixed spoll is the first (and possibly the second ) rings are bigger in diameter . You could replace the duplons with shrink tube and have a moveable seat or coasters perhaps

i was given a moonraker 2 years ago, only ever use it on dover breakwater with a fixed spool, never had a problem

There are more eyes on a multi rod too in order to keep the line flowing tight to the blank rather than flapping around it, how many eyes are there on your Moonraker?

Thanks for the replys guys.

It has 9 eyes in all, the butt eye is close to the blank and small, so i guess it is as said a multiplyer rod. One other eason i want to refurb it is to get rid of the PINK whipping around the eyes , could be a girlie rod hey LOL
