Hi Ephraim, I attempted to take apart and clean my automatic reel. I wouldn't advise it. They have a long clock spring that can easily be "sprung" and nearly impossible to reinstall.
What would be your recommendation for repairing dings and missing paint on a reel? I slipped and fell on a big boulder it’s not dented but some of the metal peeled up and removed some of the paint got a little smashed
Very funny, someone who does not maintain their reels after each fishing trip. Then not cleaning them until they get rust corrosion and deep grime giving a reel cleaning/maintenance video???
Please can you make a video how to install that spool lever please help...
Thanks 🐟👍
Hi, nice video on basic maintenance. If you could do a more detailed video on the same kind of reel for drag maintenance it would be nice..
Hi Vikram, Thanks for the suggestion. I could pick a popular reel and clean the drag.
Thanks. I was looking for the a drag maintenance of the kind of reel as shown above. With a bar drag. Unsealed.
Great job . Thank you so much
Vikram raghavan ok thanks!
What about the drag pins on the other side?
I don't suggest folks open up that side of the reel. Lots of small springs can quickly become lost.
So do we not have to pack the bearing with grease every time we clean?
Light sewing oil should do the trick.
