Good Morning. I have acquired a CM-6 and I also have another that I'm not sure the size. I'm looking to potentially add this reel to my spring Ultralight lineup and I wonder if 4lb line may work? I found this list in the archives but it seemed to be available for all of the CM reels. With no mention of 4 lb should I assume that it was not recommended?

Pictures are helpful. Since there several variations in the reels

Gary, glad the pics were of use. And I like your insight on that clip on the drag! Seems pretty logical as to why.

By the way Chuck, if I hadn't looked at the pictures you posted on the 235 I would still be out in the garage trying to figure it out.
I was trying to install the bearing (Part #148) on backwards. My brain said that was the way it should go on. Brain was wrong....again!
You saved my bacon.
I had a pinion gear someone installed on a drive shaft that was a wee bit longer. Couldn't figure out why the rotor wouldn't return all the way. Finally figured that out. I compared it to another one I had and noticed that drive shaft was a little longer, etc.
I'm worn out now. Between the repairs and writing.

I know this thread has been around for awhile. But I was working on 2 different Sprint 235 reels and read all the comments.
My thoughts are:
On the original/older drag knobs they had the little protrusion and were not just rounded. So there was a built in stop on the knob and it could only be turned from 0-8 on the drag dial.
With the newer drag knob, they are just round. And if someone got a little Steve Martin (wild and crazy) they could back the drag screw completely out. And the drag bar would end up falling out.
Not a huge deal if you have worked on the reels. But to a novice, might be the end of the fishing trip. So I think Johnson added that e-clip to prevent angry phone calls, etc.

About a year ago, I sent him a message on Fishingtalks, wanting a pic of a Johnson 155a with a yellow ribbon on the front, that he said he had. I'd never seen one. No response back. Not sure if he's a member on here or not. If his sons farming , maybe you could reach out to him somehow. Hope your doing well. P.S. A friend of mine , who knows everybody , said he talked to him a yr ago but had to call him numerous times. So I guess he's still around.

it's been some time since i heard from chad B. i used to talk with him all the time. he had a good parts stock and knows a lot about reel repair, but a few years ago he turned his farm over to his son and took a job that has him constantly on the go. he had a source for high quality bearings to replace the cheap bearings in these china made centuries. haven't been able to get a hold of him for at least 2 years now. i agree with you that his article is great....
