Ho bra lucky thing I saved my 8000 and 4000 penn fierce 2 reels! I had the same exact problem! I was gonna throw it away but it’s hard to throw away reels! After watching this I tried it and it worked! I’m stoked thanks braddah bill and braddah kapono! Yessah🤙
Thanks man, started getting very stiff drag on my fierce 5000 was about to replace all washers and then realised it was stiff without any washers, used your trick and now my drag is working smooth as silk. Thanks so much for sharing this. I just used the drill bit that fit very snug into the spool. Super happy
you are my lord and savior i've been having this problem for months on my penn fierce 5000 reel and i can not tell you how many times and how many bottles of WD-40 i went through to try to get my drag system to work
awesome!!!! im going to do this right now! my feirce started sticking recently. you should replace your drag washers with carbon fiber ones from smoooth drag. found them on youtube. also replced washers for my senator 4/0
Hey braddah kapono, I had dis same issue and it turned out that my washers were burnt out and I took em to the fish store had me repaired, didn’t immediately fix the issue but after a couple days it seems like it fixed itself

Thanks for the video and thanks Braddah bill! Worked for me!!
Thank you Sir!!! Just fixed mine using this method.
Thank you! This also works on the penn persuit 3
Heck yea dude glad it worked
I've had to do something similar. didn't use a drill tho... just some 600 grit sandpaper on the brass rod to get it to loosen up.
That's exactly what I did too.
I did it. It’s a big leap of faith drilling it out. But the reel works great.
I felt the same way bro! Stoked it worked for you too.

What size drill did you used for the 5000.
Just finished according to your video. Works great now. Thanks.

How can I fix automatic drag tightening issue on my Penn surgas 2 8000 reel?

Little reem job nice
Time to upgrade to some carbon washers from those felt ones.
hey i live kona side on the big island and i was just wondering where some good spots to go fishing are.
Go down to any shore line. Somewhere new every time and explore the rocks and coast. Lots of good stuff out there. Each place is different and good
do do doosh!
My problem is as the reel starts to run the drag knob spins causing it to basically tightens it self and locks up on its self..
Where you at? Haven’t seen any new videos!
time for Shimano Saragosa
So a reel that can't handle moisture😳
Uhhhhhh last time I checked fish live in water, water is pretty moist 🤦🏽♂️
When do we get new videos
Hey dudes, can I go fishing with you on shore?
Step one fixing a penn fierce: buy a spin fisher lol nah j/k🤙🏾
can I get unbanned please? SPlitz#5658
