You never cleaned the internal gears and bearing then lube then on the body of the reel. You call yourself the Angler Authority yet failed to do a complete disassembly and maintenance of all moving parts.

Being honest, I have to say that although Rapala creates lures with incredibly effective actions, it does not meet the good quality of its products in terms of their resistance. I have bought many lures from the brand and many times a simple hit to a rock causes the balls to come out of the rattle or the lure breaks. I really think the brand should know about this and fix these problems, because it's going to start getting a bad reputation...

Anyway to lock the cap that twist open?

I realize this is an old video but wanted to comment.lol This is when I stopped being a Shimano fan. No anti reverse is nothing more than shimano cutting cost. Also the drag washers are felt material 😂 This reels performance was poor in my experience,nothing like the old Stratic reels of yrs past. The bail broke in just the first season and was a nightmare to repair,many plastic parts a real disappointment.

I love these reels.I still have 4 of them and they still work as good as they did out of the box. Take care of them and they will last . Excellent tutorial my friend ..Thanks

For the TSA to know how to put back together at the intended length, you need to cover all holes with silver duck tape except the one where the peg needs to go in. Or for a more permanent set length just rivet a stopper on the inside of the outer shell.

Those corners were not done correctly

Yes it is

I bought one of these a few years back and it's been a good reel. Thanks for the tips.

would be nice if you could mount it to a roof rack. Kind of stupid they expect you to put it inside your car.

Where can I buy greese and oil for that ?

All tips shouldve been 1 video

Actually

Should there be any movement in handle when reeling forward, slack 1/4"?

Thank you🙌🏽🔥🔥💯

Já compartilhei,e deixei o 👍👍. Obrigado pelo seu, grande profissionalismo 🙏🙏

Parabéns pelo seu, lindo trabalho 🎣🐟🐟 perfeito 🎣🤙🤙

It's OK. Now its a fast sinker.

Please show how to assemble bail assembly. No one ever show that. .Shimano SP-3000FB Spheros

Wow talk about setting the hook!!!

Nice until it rains. You covered the drain plug and what I could see you never installed a drain & hose. Thus water will be running under your front deck, mold, mildew etc. I put a 3/4" PEX plug in the hole, drilled the plug out leaving a shoulder. Connect the pex plug to the pan, then connect vinyl tubing to drain the pan correctly. Use silicone to sill the plug to the pan. Its water tight. Just my 2 cents but it works well. Nice carpet job though.

You didn’t get into the gear case where many issues arise

What is the bare minimum I need to do? I don't feel comfortable pulling the whole thing apart.

I take my Abu Garcia baitcasters apart and clean regularly, but not my spinning reels. I will do that very soon. Thanks.

Great job. I may carpet mine. I like to fish barefooted and even though carpet can get pretty hot sometimes. It's better than being branded by hot black metal !

great fishing moment

is that the actual 20oz carpet? it looks way heavier than that?

Unbelievable!!! What's up Rapala? Your messing up!!!

I’m not sure if the meant to be squeezed that way by hand, 9 outta 10 times they (the bass, and peacock bass) get just hooks anyway.

You didn’t even take it apart you idiot

Aka anti reverse bearing/ also not bail stop its a bail trigger

Yes great video, but he did not clean the bail assembly

You dont maintenance the geara or bearings?

Awesome

You forgot about the main gear lol

What rod were you using to flip and pitch? Do you think I could use the 7’4 heavy version on deep diving crank baits, large swimbaits, and big flutter spoons?

He should try running it over with a car next

And I bet you could still catch a fish with it

Your an idiot a fish would never do that

I’ve had some dumb stuff happen with the hooks

I just used a cheap dollar store paint brush and put it on the carpet, but this might work better

when i tighten the screqw in the handle on my vanford its like it eating on the bearing and doesnt roll smooth

My clutch won’t work after taking it apart :(

What if there’s no oil plug?

Would love this rod with a solid cork butt, looks more like a casting rod with the sensitive blank exposed for bite detection. Not sure why they would call it a bounce and troll.

Can you tell me where to buy the oil (supplies you used).

Thank you for this video! Amateur here, so just by watching you disassemble the thing made me find a loose nut and fix the issue.

Great, now the damn thing won't go backwards like you said

This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. I also have this reel and I definitely learned I was not cleaning my reel exactly right. Thanks for the video.

can you use dropshot hook on that?
