This reel is the same as the spinfisher 5 6500 live liner inside nice reel enjoy your videos because I work on reels myself good work on this reel
Thanks for the additional info and for watching - Dennis
I appreciate your shared knowlege. A previous liveliner video by you saved a friend's reel from hitting the junk pile.
Thank you. These are not easy reels to work on and I've found more than one of them in the pile at flea market. I just came across an Avenger. Let's see what's up with that one.
Dennis, thanks for doing these videos. I have learned so much and gained confidence to work on my own reels as a result of your work.
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. Please stay safe and stay well - Dennis
Thanks
Thank you for your kind and generous support of my channel - It is really appreciated - Dennis
Thanks for the video Dennis!
Great video super helpful! So glad I found you again I watched your other video on servicing a Squall reel but forgot to subscribe to your channel. Now I am subscribed. :-) My Fierce II was in much worse condition but it is much better now thanks to you.
Awesome! Thank you! Glad it helped and thanks for the sub - Dennis
Great vid. Complicated reels - I have one of the original Shimano Baitfeeders......I wouldn't even attempt to take it apart!!!!!!!!
Actually, that Shimano is one of the easier ones! Generally, I stay away from the Penn Reels. Some are downright annoying! - Thanks for watching - Dennis
Thank you. Also, I did not see you serving live liner mechanism, and imo it should be cleaned and greezed/oiled, too.
Good point. I will try to remember to do that on the next one - thank you - Dennis
I have the 6000 fierce ..liveliner 2 nice reels .for cat fish
Yes they are. Well made and durable.
I would have liked a better view on resetting g the live liner part but overall good video
I will try to do better with the next one in. I don't have that in my shop so I can't do a retake at this time - Thanks for the note - Dennis
Hey Dennis good job but I’d really love to see how to service the bottom drag.
I will add that to my list of requests. There really isn't much going on there. The assembly is removed by an internal clip and the drag washer sits in the carrier. Thanks for asking. Please stay tuned. I will try and let you know when I do one on the rear drag set up - Dennis
2nd Chance Tackle thanks
@@2ndChanceTackle Dennis my fierce 2 live liner 6000 may be that problem with the rear drag, I sent you it so maybe you can fulfill this man's request, and mine as well. Need my reel fixed up for alligator gar this upcoming season.
Good job i like vintage reels daiwa roddy ryobi shimano olympic diamond bests regards David to france
Thanks David. That is quite a collection of reels that you have. Thanks for sending the pictures. Please stay well - Dennis
Thank you very much dennis, yes i have 855 reels vintage made in japan whit alloy or magnésium body on my collection, and i repair and custom and repaint the vintage reel for my pleasure, if you need a parts for your reels contact me, i have a very important reels parts, bests regards, David to france
I have the Penn Fierce 4000 Liveliner and used it three times. this last time I got a sizable catfish on and when reeling it in the spool and shaft popped out of the reel. is this fixable or should i try and send it back to Penn
It is fixable. It sounds like the crosswind block has broken. If you just got it, then it should be covered by their 1 year warranty, so I would send it back. If you are asking if I can fix it, yes. If you would like service and repair information, please send a note to my email 2ndchancetackle@gmail.com. Thank you - Dennis
In related news I am trying to open my Conflict 4000 for servicing. It's caught a pile of nice weakfish so far this year along with a cownose. It's gotten a little stiff to turn and I know what to do save for one thing: I think the little case screws are locktited. Do you have any tricks besides penetrating oil and maybe heating the screws with a small soldering iron? If those tiny screws get their heads buggered it's game over.
There is no easy cure, so go ahead and try. If it is the blue Loc-tite from the factory, then hand strength generally can free it, If it is the red, then your soldering iron may free it, If it is salt and rust, you will likely break the screws. Try soaking the reel in fresh water overnight. The can generally loosen it if it is salt and rust. - Sorry, but you are literally in a bind with no easy solution - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle It's not salt or rust .I maintain my stuff. I freed 2 of the 3 screws. #3 screw head buggered and I am now trying to patiently drill off the head. The larger slot head screws on the older reels are fool-proof. Lesson learned.
I didn't me to suggest that you are abusing your reels. Just that this stuff happens and that the way to work that one is a fresh water bath. Glad to hear you are more than half way there. I have a 6/0 on my bench with 8 of the 10 screws frozen. The fellow had the reel as a spare and it sat in an external rod holder on the bridge without ever being hosed down. As you say - lessons learned. Dennis
These comments are for everyone's benefit. I was not at all offended. I'm just disappointed in how some tiny cheap screws make routine maintenance almost impossible. The older Penns last much longer with a little TLC.
Have you taken that apart before or is that a new one
This one was only used a few times according to the owner. It was having the problem and they tried to fix it, which would void the warranty, so it was brought to me to repair
Does the reel have a pinion bushing on the rotor? Looking at the schematic it shows 19a. However when I took mine apart and went to put back together I could not locate this part. Just curious if I lost it or there isn’t one.
19A is a small plastic cup bushing that sits inside the top of the pinion gear, where the axle shaft goes inside. It helps keep the axle shaft true and snug - It does not sit on the rotor - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for all your informative videos!
Hi Dennis. I've got a Penn live liner 6 new and need to adjust the drag on the free spool and in told I can adjust it at the rear of the reel - could you help me possibly? I don't want to damage the reel. It's brand new ! Thanks ! Adam
There are two drag systems in the livelier reel. The top drag in the spool is your tradition drag tat you use when fighting a fish. The rear drag controls the tension on the line release when you are in bait feeder mode. You can slow the speed (increase the drag) on the rear assembly by turning it clockwise. To reduce, turn counter clockwise - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle cheers Dennis. Yep figured it. Perfect for drone fishing. Cheers
Btw can this handle large sharks would you say ? Got the 8500 version
Do you have any videos on the fierce iii live liner. The drag on my fierce iii 8000ll will not work. I am unable to reel my line in and the spool spins. There is not clicking. Can anyone helpe out.
The issue is most likely in the locking pin that comes off of the trip lever and intersects with the drag drag assembly to hold it firm. I do not have the version for the LL 3, but the following one, done for the 4000 LiveLiner II is near identical
FYI - Dennis
