I have never used one. I just had the one in the shop for service. I'm honestly not sure how well that would work. Thank you for your comment and watching.
Most of the time you can find one on eBay. I would recommend cleaning and servicing it before using. Also, if you need parts you can go to mystic parts.com. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, I figured there was a way to disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble a fishing reel. I have watched a good number of firearm videos for that sort of thing and this feels a lot like that. Thx for your time on this, opened my eyes to what's going on inside a fishing reel.
Randell, I was watching along with you with reel in hand. I too, was puzzled as to how to remove the Aluminum Spool/Pinion Bushing (?). I noticed a thread peeking out behind the Reel Frame. I tried rotating the Bushing and found that it is Left Hand Thread and comes off easily in a Clockwise direction. Surprised there weren't any wrench flats or anything similar. I tried my A/R Leer before adding the Spool and It worked, now it doesn't, will have to find out why. Enjoyed your videos. John
@@ETXReelserviceandrepair when you take drag adjuster off there is four screws that appear to hold spool on took them out but what seems to be holding it is the line catch on side of spool..never seen anything like this before
I bought one of these for $15 on eBay, serviced it and took it Trout fishing in Maine. Very nicely made reel, operates very well, Amazing it only has one Ball-bearing. I also purchased a Cardinal 755 which I have not opened up yet.
sir Do you know how to remove the rotor off a daiwa goldcast 308RL. The rotor nut don't have any slots and it's round. Parts diagram shows the nut and rotor as 1 complete unit. Thanks
Great news! I am glad that the video helped you to DIY. That is the point of my channel, It also causes my videos to run longer. Glad to be of help and thank you for watching and commenting. Have a blessed day!
Those old school thick asbestos washers don’t take grease! If you put grease on them they become very very jerky , learned from experience while fighting a big fish
My line direction thing in my real doesn't move so the line only goes in one spot and I lost a screw where did you order parts . And what would cause it not to move
Possible causes would be damaged gear, damaged pawl or improper installation. Can order parts directly from Okuma. They have a website you can order parts from or can also call them.
1I'm doing a #9 now and can appreciate the struggles needed to complete the service. I put a lot of assemble/take apart time into learning. Your video shows those struggles. I thank you a lot for letting us see those struggles too. Gives me encouragement. Thanks again. Great video.
Thank you for the comment, very kind and I appreciate it. Sometimes things just do not go smoothly. One thing I have learned is patience, you must have patience. Thank you again for the great comment and for watching.
Chapters and an index would have been nice, since the video is, as you say, a bit long. As you pointed out, it is difficult to see the antireverse dog spring in your video or in fact in anybody else's video for this reel, and so the obvious thing, since you acknowledge that it is extremely difficult or impossible to see, would have been to shoot a close-up of the assembled dog and spring to MAKE it visible. The video will not help someone who does not already know how to reassemble it, and the person who already knows how to reassemble it doesn't need to see the video. Since I had recently had this problem with all of the other Penn Peerless no.9 videos, I fast forwarded to that place, since I didn't need to watch the entire 1:06:11 to verify that I did in fact get it right. So, when I got to it and didn't see anything helpful or hear anything except how it was probably not possible to see it, I was a little disappointed. Not a lot, but a little, yeah. But thanks for taking the time and trouble to make this video and post it.
I am sorry you could not see the dog spring install. That camera position was not the best, but this was early on, when I first started making videos. Now I have the camera overhead. If I am not mistaken, there is a second Penn 9 video on the channel and it was filmed overhead.
If I was wrong about another video on the Penn 9 check the video for a Penn 10 if your reel has a flat spring, if it has a small standard type spring, you can check out the Penn 209 installation. Different reels, but it is the same install procedure. Hope this helps you out . Thanks for watching and commenting.
I use the heavy duty degreaser from Sam's Club or Zep available at Tractor Supply. There are many to choose from. Thank you for watching and the comment.
It would be a good idea to clean and service the reel. Check the spool tensioner, I think it is to tight. That is most likely why it doesn't free fall when the lever is flipped.
Thank you so much for so expertly & so patiently doing such a superb job of carefully demonstrating how to COMPLETELY TAKE APART & THOROUGHLY CLEAN MY PENN JIGMASTER 5OO. THANK YOU KIND SIR! From Louie. Take good good Care ALWAYS!😊
Thank you for the kind words and you are very welcome. The videos sometimes run long, but that is so everyone can see and be able to service or repair their own reel. Thank you for watching and the great comment.
No parts are available for the reel. You can use eBay to possibly find used parts or possibly acquire another to be a donor reel. Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
I think they are fine reels to use for catfishing from the bank. I owned one for a time and used it for that very thing. I had no issues with the reel.
In the first two minutes you are unscrewing the knob on the top of the reel and ultimately it pops off. I am doing the same and nothing is happening. What could I be missing?
How much is it to service these reels? I have a couple that are just over a year old and could probably use a service. At $59 bucks a piece, they are just an ok reel as you point out in another video.
This is Carl the gears is ok in mine it was working ok but i took it apart now it skips on the gears now i wanted to put new grease in it but clubby fingers and my old age didnt agree at all
I use Penn Precision Reel Grease and Lucas Fishing Reel Oil. Thank you for watching the video and for the great comment. I hope the video was helpful and enabled you to service or repair your reel. Thanks again and have a great day!
My condolences, sorry for your loss. I am glad you found the video useful and it was able to help. That is what this channel is dedicated to showing others how to DIY. Thank you for watching and for the great comment.
Sir, Can you explain the function of the spring near the main gear. I am wondering about its placement during reassembly. A portion of the spring can be seen at 8;09 of this video. thanks
Hi, Randy. I have a question that maybe you can help me with. I have a Penn 209 level wind multi purpose reel and the spool sits further over to the right side leaving a pretty substantial gap between the spool and side plate on the left side (even more so when the tension knob is tightened) Just wondering if you know what could be causing this. Thanks.
The Ozarks trail reels look alot like my Lew's reel's is the small thing's 🧐 like is there lower brand for Walmart too much Lew's at Walmart the last 10 years did not see Lew's 20; years ago in my Walmart. Like the Ozarks trail reel's and pole's. The grit stick pole's looks like Zebco. Same company owns all three. Zebco, Quantum, Lew's and Strike King the Rather outdoors ⁉️
How beautiful it is to see someone treat used equipment that costs no more than 5 dollars with so much care, but the value doesn't matter, because when we take care of an old spincast it's because we want to experience the glorious times of a past that no longer exists. Times when children counted the minutes on their fingers to run to the lake and launch a buoy with worm bait, most of the time in the company of a Zebco 33. Congratulations on your dedication and for providing us with such a wonderful video. Hugs.
Thank you so much for such a magnificent and wonderful comment. I am only 56 years of age and I love the old school reels. I use all vintage Penn reels and in my opinion they are better quality than most of what is on the market today. Thank you again for the comment and for watching the video.
I'm sorry but your comment is unclear. Are you asking where you can get that part(s)? If so, you will have to contact Kast King directly for parts. If not, please explain. Thanks for watching!
