    A couple of years ago I was fishing off the Santa Cruz pier and hooked into something that ran like that. Almost sppoled my and went straight underneath the pier. I had on a 1 oz weight and a live anchovy. I thought it was a halibut but after watching this video . I think it was a ray?

    Great video. Can u make a video on how to remove the penn level-wind? I have a penn warfare 20, but i think its the same as rival. Thanks in advance.

    • @rfdsrd
      @rfdsrd 4 роки тому +3

      yes, the warfare is much like the rival. i have a rival 15 and i just removed the level wind. this may not be a job for everyone! read on ....
      put the spool in free spool.
      undo the screw cap that's underneath the level wind guide then tap the guide so that the level wind pawl will fall out. remove the 3 screws that hold on the clicker side plate, pull out the spool.
      remove the two screws that hold on the gear box to the frame (their heads face the spool). remove the two screws that hold on the gear side plate.
      remove the little screw that keeps the large handle screw from loosening, remove the small handle screw washer and the handle. remove the two small washers and the four large washers.
      now here's the important part - remove the chromed handle side ring plate and hidden underneath is a small phillips head screw, remove it. the entire plate is under tension from the two pinion yoke springs, so slowly lift off (straight up) the entire gear side plate.
      you'll see that the level wind worm shield and worm gear are held captive by an E-clip. this is kinda tricky, but i used a pair of small flat head screw drivers to push out the E-clip. the entire worm assembly will now slip out and the line guide assembly will slip off as well.
      reassemble the gear side plate - make sure the gear anti-reverse dogs and pinion springs are all in place and carefully push down the cover. i needed to work the free spool lever back to the retrieve position in order to get the cover to snap back on. put back the rest of the gear side plate, re-install the handle.
      i cleaned the reel frame where the level wind holes are left showing and put a piece of black electrical tape over each hole to keep out water and sand. done.

  • @rfdsrd
    @rfdsrd 4 роки тому +4

    another fact i just uncovered about the penn rival is that it has NO spool brakes at all. the penn website claims that all the rival reels sport "mechanical" braking but that's false and my conversation this morning with a penn tech confirms the penn website info is wrong and needs to be changed. he stated that in the case of the rival reel, "mechanical" means using your thumb, LOL! i will do some investigating to see if i can mag the clicker side plate. so far, my first cast with a 10' 2-6oz payload fiblink rod and a 3oz sputnik on the rival's 16# ande mono went 77 yards. the next cast i added more leverage and it went 89 yards with no fluffing of the line. this cheap reel is kicking some butt! wow.

    • @rfdsrd
      @rfdsrd 4 роки тому

      to fully remove the level wind, it will involve removing the level wind guide screw and drop out the worm gear pawl, remove the clicker side plate and remove the spool, remove the gear side plate (tip: the chrome ring must be completely pulled off to reveal a small screw that must also be removed), remove the E-clip that holds in the worm gear shell and worm gear - both will fall right out, put back the gear side plate, insert the spool, put back the clicker side plate, put a small bit of electrical tape over the two remaining level wind holes left in each frame side. done. :)

      You have to take apart the reel and remove the actual piece that sits on the worm gear. The worm gear that drives the level wind is still engaged but the casting distance is greatly improved. Iv'e got a ton of questions about this so I might make a video
