Penn Spinfisher V3500 how to take apart and service this fishing reel 

Hi Dennis, Great video ! The close up camera position for the spool slammer maintenance (the last portion) was the best I 've ever seen. Perfect distancing !! It really helped to hone in on those parts along with your description. Thanks. Best Regards, Cons

Beautiful little reel looks easy to work on would not mind having one off them penn are my favourite reels love your videos Dennis

Another great videos Happy Easter Dennis you are the man

Appreciate the channel !! Thanks from ( Dos Palos Ca. )

Interesting to finally see this size Spinfisher V. I’ve often meant to ask you how often I should service the reels in my collection I haven’t fished with? I’ve never seen a crosswind piece or block with a roller on it. One thing I really like on this reel is that seal around the housing edge. I also like the Slammer underneath drag system. You did your usual great job on this reel. Dennis I sent you an e-mail with photos of a reel I got this afternoon. It isn’t the Mitchell 496 I wanted as I lost that one. Believe it or not I got a beautiful Mer 52 Punch PUM Surf Reel - my second one! It comes with a spare spool so I’m really excited about it. Check you e-mail for photos. - Chris

You can definitely see Penn's improvement in the design between the Spinfisher V and VI. The rubber seal on the V is on the outside of the side plate screws, which potentially could still let water in, whereas on the VI the side plate screws are on the outside of the seal. That will at least minimize any water penetration from the side plate screws getting through the seal now. With regard to that seal Dennis, is it a good idea to clean that and recoat it with something periodically?

What's with the old board? Next thing you know you will be putting the grease on with a screwdriver again! Happy Easter Dennis. Love your videos.

oil for line roller?? And don't clean it??

I’m curious why you didn’t service the line roller bearing. Seems like they fail a lot.
