Was not ready for the amount of grease. Don't know how I feel about people defending this charter captain. More is not always better. Just service your gear more than once a season. I've been on a few charters and plenty of public boats. Never used a greased out reel like that.
This is honestly sad to watch your really getting every dollar out of your $200 rod and reel😂 i build rod and i wouldn't recommend greasing a reel seat or guides and those reels should last you 100 years greasing them that much ive seen 4/0's last till today that were bought the week they came out and their still doing fine and have never been serviced my buddy's 6/0 is in great condition only thing wrong with it is the free spool clicker and for him.Jew fish fishing with that reel its amazing that that's the only thing wrong with the never serviced reel
This is how charter captains have to do it. They run these reels in the hands of people who know nothing about them 300+ days a year. It's not meant for optimum performance it's meant for optimum survival. I service my own reels and believe me it's not like this but for captains this is the only way to keep them running day after day.
I do 1,000 reels a year in my shop. For someone that takes care of their own reels this video will make you sick. For someone who runs a charter business this way of protecting you reels is the only way. They will use these reels until they quit. They will buy new ones later.
Chris W you dont understand his point. He isnt trying to get the best performing reels he needs his reels for googans coming on his charter who domt know how to fish where the reels might get dunked or not taken care of. For personal use ofc this is too much but for chartering its perfect
Get your screwdriver out to clean all that black grease off. Lol. I service my 0/6 every other year and would never put that much grease on. You gotta think the Mose grease the more, salt, sand, and debris gets attach to it. Look at second chance tackle if u have any questions. This guy is funny.
It would have been awesome if at the end of the video, he did a final thoughts portion with him completely covered in grease. As he walks through his home, they get a shot of the dog coated in grease. Then he starts cooking a piece of chicken with a thick coat of grease. Lol.
I just started fishing a year ago, and boy am I "hooked" :)... my pal got me my first fishing rod and reel, the reel is a Penn Sea-Boy, it's a lower 80's model and I have no idea where he got it from, but this thing works like a champ! I've been on 6-7 fishing trips so far on my friends boat and this reel has performed so well!..I cached lots of fish!.. so I started reading on reels and I see that Penn is a very respected company, and a lot of pro's are using them and say very good things about them. so now I feel I want to maintain my sea-boy reel cause its worth it, plus I am getting a new Senator (I will give the sea-boy to my son for when he joins me fishing). this video sure gives some good advice, thank you!!!
Captn ...have you tried washing your reels in Saltaway? It will stop the salt corrosion.. I would say just have a mix kept in bottle and dunk them... i think you wan reuse the solution over and over again.
Thank you for the compliment (for our online store at Pennparts.com). We are always glad to be able to help with the Penn reel repairs. ~The Crew at Scott's Bait & Tackle.
