Daiwa Saltist 40 Frame Upgrade/Reel Clamp

I've received a few PMs about what the Daiwa Saltist 40 upgrade looks like, so I took a few pix.

Many of you probably already have this frame because Daiwa started upgrading the frame/bolt/clamp system after complaints. And with the old system it totally sucked. It was huge in my hand and put pressure on the inside of my wrist while throwing the jig.

Unfortunately the 30 still has this bolt/clamp system, but I found a way to fix that. I chopped the screws down.

Here are the 30 screws. This is how the 40 looked also. Combined with the old clamp footer, it was too cumbersome.
