I find 'where's the tweezers I want to pull some nasal hair quite entertaining'

I upgraded line clips on my daiwa emblem X reels and a daiwa infinity reel.
A bit tricky and fiddly...
Well worth tying a long loop of cotton to one end of the spring so its retained when (not if) it tries to leave the country.

The way to do it is use long nosed pliers and do not hold the little circlip at either side (at 90°) but hold about 1mm of it dead centre with the pliers pinching from either side (so the pliers are in line with the clip stem).
Compress the spring and then slide the circlip on to the back end of the line clip.
If the line clips decides to leave the party early then its already on a retainer.

I also noticed that the recess for the daiwa line clips is machine cut and the edges are slightly edgier than i would have liked so i took some time to file them down and just round off the squareness of the cut away section.
It now feels very slightly rounded and smooth to the touch.

That's a great tip. I now feel stupid for not doing that.
