@@grayman5271 Lol oh jeez those dudes are insane bro, I’ll stick to fishing for sure. 🤦🏻♂️😁 This reel isn’t so so bad, just have to take it super slow. Just like free climbing lol but with way less consequence if you mess up. 😂🤙🏽
@@akomalley Oh that thing is great man, it’s linked in the video description but idk if Amazon links are different for different countries 🤷🏻♂️ Let me know actually! Been wondering about that. 👊🏽😂
@@WhereWeWild yeah can’t get that exact one over here but can get something similar. I can ship that from the states shipping is as much as the item. No customs duty as it’s cheap, normally customs is just crazy
Light screeching? 🤔 Hmmm not really sure man, I only have one of them currently but since the new model just came out I will probably be getting another one when the old model goes on sale so I will find out! 😂🤙🏽 It’s an awesome reel.
Hahaha yeah I was little nervous just because I’ve never done one haha and the schematic looked insane 😂 Not so bad though just have to really take your time and be gentle with it, some of those parts felt so delicate it’s crazy.
Love the video... waiting for all those piece i'm missing to myself the maintenance of my reels! I'm curious tho.. how do you clean the paint brush after? I'll be using shimano star drag grease is it fine?
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 👊🏽😊 Ahhhh I just give it a good wipe off with a paper towel and keep the brush in a ziplock bag. I’m using the same grease on it every time ya know. Yeah sure shimano grease is good stuff 🤙🏽
@@Elezen514 It’s basically the same stuff as the penn blue grease I use, just reel grease ya know, it’s mostly for the gears on a reel ⚙️ and some other little places I show in the video where I put it. Bearings get oil. And the drag washers I use the cals drag grease. Everything is linked in the video description if you need anything 🤙🏽
@@WhereWeWild yeah had difficult time finding the penn in canada... bought a bottle of 1lb from the US lol... will use that for the gear and other stuff you did in the video and keep my shimano star drag grease for drag only :D PS: I might have to buy lucas oil too... since my ardent bottle doesnt have a "needle" applicator and i'll do a big mess without it
Question, I just bought and returned my first Vanford 2500 because of handle play. I had them open up another one and it wasn't as bad, but still noticable. I was wondering if you noticed any with yours? Since it screws into the pinion gear I'm wondering if there's a tolerance issues with this batch of reels or a shimming issue. Because I was getting about 1/32 of play left to right / in n out of the reel body and about the same amount of play when reeling/wiggling back and forth.
Hmm. Think you mean the main gear. The pinion gear sits in the middle of the reel where the shaft runs up through it. I have the 3000, but there isn’t much play in the handle at all just a little in the knob.
@@WhereWeWild Oops, yes that's what I meant. I was thinking of it like a car's ring and pinion gears, but still got them mixed up lol! I thought the 3000 and 2500 have the same body, just different spools. So that's why I asked. Glad to hear your doesn't have excessive play. Also what type of fishing do you do with yours? I'm thinking of try a 3000 next time. But I mainly intend to use it for finesse bass fishing, so I don't know if I need the extra line
@@grayman5271 Yeah same body but the 3000 has the T shaped handle. I’ve used it for senkos, ned rigs, drop shots, little swimbaits, all finesse type stuff. Same weight as the 2500 (minus the line) so it’s really just if you like the T handle feel and or want more line on it.
Every time i put grease on my carbontex washers it makes them slip too much and then i have to tighten the drag more than usual whch makes the drag action stick and them let go in an action which isnt smooth. I also use cals grease and just a tiny bit. So its interesting to see you use grease. I'm skeptical now and end up put them back in dry since i feel that they just work better that way.
Hmm that’s interesting man I never seem to have that problem 🤷🏻♂️ Running them dry is definitely going to give you the max drag, I just like a tiny little shine on them to help prolong their life is all. Sure you can see in this video how it’s just a tiny tiny tiny amount, don’t want it on their thick that’s for sure. Nothing wrong with running them dry if that’s how you like em. 😊🤙🏽
@WhereWeWild my only reels i haven't tried are my vanfords. Perhaps i should try again. I also used a very tiny bit in the reels i have tested. I tend to run my drags on the tighter side and i always wondered if thats what gives it the jerky action when greased.
@FishingEasternCapeSA Oh yeah maybe… I tend to keep my spinning reels set pretty loose because I’m using much lighter line and smaller hooks that don’t really need much force to stick em ya know? Can kind of just lean back on em if that makes sense. Also if it’s a big girl biting I like to know they won’t be able to break me off on the first turn hahaha 😎😁🤙🏽 My casting reels I tend to run more locked down.
@@WhereWeWild im actually the same as you, i dont actually put a lot of pressure, only initially to set the hook. im scared of pulling the hook out if its not hooked perfectly. I think i tend to really tighten when i need slow the fish down and tire it quicker. Else it takes forever. It's only really the big fish that test the drags i suppose. i feel i have more control over the carbon drags without grease, as if the grease tends to make the response more exponential rather than linear.
Hmm I haven’t messed with the anti reverse on this reel, but maybe search if there is a video specifically taking one apart? Before I did that though I’d make sure there are no other obvious problems when taking the reel apart before I opened up the actual anti reverse, like sand or anything out of place or broken that could be causing issues, it may be something way more simple causing the problem. It’s extremely rare that I ever have to take apart the anti reverse on any reel.
I just fixed it an hour ago. There are 6 springs inside of this anti reverse and 6 ball bearings. The springs need to be inserted with the small arm pointing towards the outer frame. In the end the other side of the spring has a longer arm. So here is where it becomes tricky. You might put the ball bearings in pushing the springs‘ longer arm to the right each which looks in the end more right then pushing the arms to the left. However, pushing them to the left is the right way to do it. Sorry for my bad English I am not native. Small mistake big consequences. 😊 thank you bro you helped me a lot.
Oh sweet man! Good job! 👊🏽😊 Yeah those things are a little tricky for sure, really glad you got it figured out and I’m happy this video was useful for you! Thanks for watching! Tight lines brother 🎣😎🤙🏽
Ahhh sorry man I haven’t messed with that on this reel, I’ve had that happen on other reels but I try to avoid it because it’s a little annoying. Here is a video of a Stradic anti reverse just to show you how they work but I’m not sure the if the Vanford’s is the same deal. It has to be at least somewhat similar, hope it helps. 👊🏽 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YDKux3KybBE.htmlsi=4cOcqcMzAB_1PrPE
Same thing happened to mine...next time keep the piece at 18:31 and the anti reverse together would "help" not popping it off when assembling the reel back together
@@WhereWeWild the anti reverse on the vanford is like this one instead tho ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QuLov5u2XT8.html&ab_channel=DeniNakDaloeng But yeah that was hella annoying to put back together... first time i did after almost finishing assembling the spool i noticed i missed one of the metal thing for the anti reverse and had to disassemble the whole thing again XD
My Vanford randomly gets stuck when I reel in. It becomes harder to turn the handle about halfway, then it returns to normal. This happens completely at random, so you never know when it will get stuck. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? Thanks!
Could need a new bearing somewhere. Possibly a gear. Idk if you hear any grinding going on. I would follow this video step by step and just rip it all apart and inspect everything man. Make sure there is no sand or dirt in it. Make sure all the bearings are still good and oil them. Make sure the gears aren’t damaged and grease them up. I would just take my time and check it all out, usually something like that is fairly obvious to spot when you take it apart and inspect the parts.
@@WhereWeWild thanks a lot for your kind comment. I will do that, hope wont lose any part :) I will need a screwdriver set probably. I love my reel and want to save it! all the best, I will update you as soon as I do that. I have very limited time, little one is so demanding :) lol. have a good day and tight lines!
@@wuquanchi Go for it brother I’m sure you’ll spot the issue 👊🏽😊 Sometimes all it takes is just a little cleaning and some fresh oil and grease. If you have any other questions feel free to hit me up and all the tools and stuff that I use are always linked in the video description if you need to find anything. Good luck. Tight lines 🎣🤙🏽
@@WhereWeWild thanks so much, I teared apart the reel, messed up with antireverse bearings:) but managed to put it back together :) cleanded up , will test it soon and I will detail it again in depth ☺️ I appreciate your support and help. All the best! Everything looks okay in the reel bu the way, hard to spot the issue
