The rubber band is a terrific idea for the line roller bearing. I sometimes have to back the screw because it’s tightened at the factory to where the line roller doesn’t roll at all.

Thank you! We think the rubber band trick is pretty handy too!

sounds like a faulty design , it should not stop the roller from freely moving back n forth and rolling with the screw tightened all the way ,got me a new reel and noticed my bail was quite stiff opening and closing , i simply loosened the screws on both arms and its smoother now

*Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*

That oil you put on the shaft after you took the spool off , the one that goes up and down when you crank the reel by the handle does not get oil it gets a light coat of grease , there’s grease in the gear case , so when it goes up and down it comes in contact with the grease .

@TrungLe-lw4zm Жыл бұрын

This is just a basic maintenance with low viscosity Bantam oil. For people who is more capable, it is recommended to apply grease to parts that the manufacturers advise okay to.

@jokso22 Жыл бұрын

Wouldn't oil wash away grease from within bearings? And sea water then wash away oil? That happened to me when I was oiling roller after every second trip. It was factory greased, but after few oilings when opened it was wet from water, not grease nor oil.

@TrungLe-lw4zm Жыл бұрын

Yes it could. In theory people should use grease or grease spray which has better salt water resistance. However it is totally fine to use this low viscosity Bantam, it’s just that you have to apply it more often.

@marvenmema Жыл бұрын

@ Disassembling the reel, removing the old grease/oil and replacing it with fresh grease/oil. The once a year rule of thumb is for average anglers who are active and who want to maximize the life expectancy of their reel. If you fish very frequently and have invested in a really nice reel that you'd like to live for very long, then doing a deep cleaning more frequently like twice a year would be even better.

Daiwa doesn’t recommend adding any oils to areas that contain their magnetic oils as it can disturb the ferofluid. If your Certate has mag sealed ball bearings and line roller bearing then oils those parts can lead to that mag fluid breaking down, not my opinion this is according to Daiwa.

Def would recommend against that in the long run. Wd40 is a water displacement solvent. It’s not a lubricant at all, once it dries it really offers no protection or lubrication, in fact it’s just cleaning or breaking down the oil and grease out of whatever it sprays into. Plus, it can weaken your line too
