Spinning Reel Maintenance (Step by Step Tutorial) 

yeah i prefer putting the oil where the parts make contact on the bail arms and not relying for the oil to make its way in there by outside application,i take them apart and apply oil in between where the arm is touching the body and the screw goes in between and also the gear box where i do my best to degrease with kerosene then add grease and a bit of oil as well as lubricate the drag system

I agree with you 100%

Agreed

Yes I agree

That's a dumb myth perpetuated by people who lack the ability to understand what's actually going on here, and also lack the common sense to avoid "explaining" things that they can't even picture in their mind. Explaining why you are wrong would take me a few pages of writing, and you probably wouldn't read it anyway. But for what it's worth, I have been fishing with spinning reels for more than 50 years and for the first 45 of those years I used old-fashioned reels that did not even offer the option of closing the bail by hand. More recently, I usually just turn the crank to close the bail because it's what I've always done. In all those years I have NEVER had any line twist. Not a single time. If your line is getting twisted, there are two likely causes, but letting the bail close automatically is not one of them.

@@ericl2969 some fishing seminar I went to a bass pro shop a while back the “pro” they had talking said this. Lol guess he was an idiot just saying nonsense.

@@patrickduncanjr.6847 I've seen pros say that too, but I bet none of them are old enough to remember fishing endlessly with reels with bails that only closed automatically, with no one ever worrying about causing line twist, or if they know that some of those reels are highly prized to this day. And if you want, I might try to explain what's so crazy about this idea being true. Or maybe you would care to explain the details of why it IS true. There's actually lot of nonsense about line twist written by people who have no conception about what happens to the line when a spinning reel functions, and couldn't actually explain it if they wanted to. Just because a person fishes for a living doesn't earn them any special ability at understanding nuances of mechanical things. Anyway, even if I were not good at envisioning the details of mechanical things, and even if I couldn't explain what's wrong with this silly line-twist idea, the fact remains that I've made hundreds of thousands of casts, closing the bail by turning the handle, and never had the line get twisted. Line can get twisted but not by how you close the bail. I will add one other thing. In recent years, I've started closing my bail manually a lot more often, but it has nothing to do with line twist. The reason, is something I have heard which I CAN believe and which actually DOES make sense, and that's that the repetitive shock of the bail slamming shut can eventually cause something to break. Modern fishing reels, the high-quality ones anyway, are much more fragile than the ones of long ago. Heck, the expensive reels of today have hollow bail wires! So yeah, it could be that closing the bail manually is a good idea in the long run, just to help reduce the chances of eventual bail breakage .

perhaps but they say it damages the pinion as it gets shocked in the same place every time you close the bail using the handle instead of closing it by hand ,but i think some reels are so smooth and are designed to be shut by reeling, like shimano

Just rinse it gently with fresh water. That's all it takes.

Yes. And also 10W 30.

thats what i use as well as kendal grease for the gears, for the drag system i use silicone lubricant the same one i use for my car break calipers

Wtf are you doing here! Lol

This guyyy

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

@Tripp Axel I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it =)

@Tripp Axel I would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

do some reels have a lube point on those? i noticed on one of my reels there is a dimple and small hole on one end of line roller assembly ,i unscrewed the other end and yes it does have a ball bearing for the roller and what looks like something that looks like it absorbs and holds oil .looks like a yellow rubber or sponge like material
