Righty-loosey is for situations where the direction of travel goes "left". The friction would eventually loosen the bolt. On a bike, for example, one pedal has righty threads, and the other lefty b/c of this.

Nice video. I would suggest you line up the individual parts that you remove on a clean towel in the sequence you removed them so theirs no question as how to reassemble the reel. Also do your disassembly on a second clean so if you drop a small part off your fingers the part will not bounce off the table on to the floor and maybe be lost forever. Some of the above may not be needed because of your expertise but there are many non experts that will try this and need all the help they can get so they don’t botch the process and need to buy a new reel. A shirt would be nice as well.

Excellent, have learned a great deal. Have been fishing and cleaning and oiling reels for many decades. Never took one down this far. Thanks for the help. Have noticed on newer garcia reels, no screws to take off bottom cover. How do these things come off? I'll be watching for future podcasts.

Less is more with grease. Especially if you're capable and willing to take it apart yourself to re-grease it. Companies glob it in there because they fully expect no one to ever open it.

@finesseoutdoors Жыл бұрын

100% spot on, really just need enough grease to see it it or "stain" the gear so to speak

Less is more. You put way too much grease on the main gear. It’s going to gum up eventually and cause more friction later on.

i soaked my reel in salt water while fishing and forgot to rinse with fresh water after....now its all stucked up..

@StopFishingStartCatching Жыл бұрын

yea I did that before - you'll want to open it up and see if there is any sand in there. If it's rusted you can try soaking it in some sort of cleaning solution. I got mine back to working somewhat but I eventually ended up just buying a new reel. Saltwater does some damage but if it wasn't soaking long (our reel feel off the boat and we had to dive down to find it - so it was sitting on the bottom of the ocean for like 20 mins) you should be good.

That music is too annoying. Can't watch the whole thing. BTW nuts that thread backwards with another nut with regular thread are called locking nuts. Read the manual. I can't take advice from a guy who can't be bothered to dress himself or doesn't understand what he's working on. It's sad that so many people pretend to be good enough to teach others just to be on KZfaq
