Tackle box didn't recommend changing the clips on the daiwa emblem X 5000t as they have plastic spools. said to use powergum instead

Cant agree with that. Id change them clips for a proper modern clip.

they reckon if you put a spring loaded one on it can bust through the plastic when you hit the clip

Without starting another thread, what are peoples opinions on the drag on these, it's going to take a bit of getting used to after my QD'd Ultegras.
Do you recommend leaving as is and getting used to it or getting some speed caps?

I have replaced all four of my line clips with the reel king ones and if I can do it anyone can. Just a thin nose pair of pliers required.
I have not replaced the caps and never had a problem. I just clamp my hand on the spool and tighten up as I am doing it.
These reels are proper work horses and have never let me down.

Cheers guys, @yonny also just read your reply #8 properly
@Chuffy, I've fit/used JR, South Custom/Reel King, Future Fishing and Weston. All much of a muchness. If you go for the Weston make sure you get the spring loaded ones
Cheers bud

Not tournies, but the old blue emblem xa.
The drag was about 3.5 to 4 turns from locked to baitrunner, and i tried to like it but it was a faff so I quick dragged them, but not to make them super quick.
They are now 1 full turn from locked to baitrunner so easy to use and i haven't lost the sensitivity in the drag.
I modified mine using the original drag cap.

Did you do just the cap or change the washers as well?

The best thing about them is the clutch - worst thing you can do is QD it.
