Casting reels require some periodic maintenance so here is how to quickly keep the Daiwa Tatula 100 casting like a champ. #bassfishing #daiwa #castingreel
I'm ready for the reel maintenance nazis to show up, "you didn't clean it properly!" Thanks for the quick maintenance tips, I tore one all the way apart once and said never again. I'll send it off to a pro vs taking all that time. That quick maintenance is probably all you need for years with a weekend anglers use.
I mean, yes, basic maintenance is all you need for years especially if you only fish weekends and have more than one combo, but the thing is the spool is always spinning on 2 bearings not one. :D Also if you fish in a dirty water a lot of junk will collect close or and on worm gear, this place also deserves occasional cleaning.
One thing that makes bait cast reels to make noise is lack of lubrication at the end of the spool shaft that butts up against the spool tensioner knob.
This was a great video!!! My tatula is also one of my work horses. I went through and did these little things and it's a night and day difference in noise and smoothness. Maybe you can tell me how to tighten up the guide that rides on the worm gear? Mine is loose and when I cast, no matter if near or far, it rattles terribly and I have no idea how to correct it. Would LOVE any tips or advice. Thanks!!!
Have u experienced any problems with the handle not engaging after a cast? Recently purchased the tatula 300 and sometimes after i cast the handle doesn’t engage the thumb bar having to spin the handle numerous times. It’s also making loud grinding noise when Im retrieving line. Any ideas? Tia.
So sometimes I think the grease settles or the factory doesn't put enough. PunchFishing has a good break down video on the tatula 100 that should get you through greasing a 300. I had the same issue on a tatula 100 I had, works great and is silent now.
I’m new to baitcasters and my cast literally go like 20ft out. My breaks are set it like 6 and I move the tension knob until my bait slowly goes down. Still only cast like 15 to 20 ft, and I birdnest more than half of the time. Really frustrating to master
...and kind of a chicken shit tip on reel lubrication; you can take a can of aerosol white lithium grease with the extension straw. Flatten one end, insert the straw in the rectangular hole directly under the "worm gear" in the reel. Lightly push the trigger of the aerosol can of white lithium grease as you slowly turn the reel handle. White lithium grease melts off much quicker than true grease made to lubricate reels, but it's a hell of a lot easier to spray grease in a reel than it is to take the reel apart and apply grease properly!
