Fishing. Fishing reels. Reel tuning

Thank you from Arabia!

Thank you for watching

I can see you have the dog post for the old anti reverse dog, and on my two 6500 CS chrome Rocket I installed them. My view is that it is better to be, safe than sorry, in case the IAR bearing breaks. I have read that Abu stopped adding the dog post on the newer productions, but I am not sure, but I do know that they do not install the dog post on all their models. The spare number is: " 5134" Great video, with regards from Norway.

That IAR bearing is not 100% that’s for sure. I’ve had a few of them go out not a fun part to change either. I ended up buying a special tool for it. Appreciate your comment.

I think being an avid fisherman runs in our family DNA. Love you Auntie Joanne

[@riverlunacy]

Yes a family of fisherman is true. From generation to generation

Very informative, A great video especially when it teaches ppl that there gear is the only thing between them & the fish. So keeping it clean & upgraded can definitely be the difference in your catch rate. No different to blunt crap hooks to super sharp quality hooks. Well done brother. Keep these great vids coming👍🎣

[@riverlunacy]

Most definitely because if you’re real seizes up or stops working, you gonna lose that fish. Definitely going to knock you out of one rod for the day

[@blakesloup5825]

Can you put a list of the specific parts you have upgraded in the description, I feel it would help any viewers.

[@mikenichollsflipinthebird9145]

Excellent information James lots of people have those reels and don't use them. Now they can upgrade them to something special. 👍🏻

[@jonathanestes7679]

Where are you getting all of your parts? Any links? I don’t find much on eBay.

[@riverlunacy]

Some on eBay and there are some other sellers outside of that, hit me up on Instagram or Fishbrain and I can answer some more. Subscribe, another video coming shortly on upgrades. I’ll be doing a couple 7000 series today after work hopefully I’ll have it up tonight or in the morning

[@danheider4458]

Great info buddy. I never grease my worm-gear either. I always apply a few drops of oil🤙🏻.
Can’t wait to see you wrench in a MONSTER with that reel HA. Fish on!!

[@riverlunacy]

You’ve seen that before and you’ll definitely see it again

[@davidstradtman8232]

Very nice video bro, you will have to help me get mine to zoom like yours one of these days

[@riverlunacy]

Definitely

[@jonathanestes7679]

Where are you getting your upgrades? I’ve not seen any good upgrades on eBay. And I cannot find thumb screws local.

[@riverlunacy]

Try black dog tackle for the thumb screws and a good price on the drag washers. Mikes reels,has a lot of the upgrade parts and HP bearing company
