I, generally, use a ratcheting, interchangeable regular-sized screwdriver for the initial loosening of screws. Here's a link to the brand I use:

Get some additional, varying sizes Flathead and Phillips bits while you're at it.
The adjustable wrenches I use (instead of hex nut wrenches) are Husky, but these (with the red insert) work very well... 6-inch will be used the most:

If you prefer to use hex nut wrenches, I'd recommend angled/offset ones, like these:

or a pass-through socket wrench set, like this:

Have 6 of these to service. Suffering from extreme neglect. Watched this for a refresher. Two thumbs up! BTW, do you use any oil on the metal drag washers?

@TSGReelService 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! Nice reels. All the best with the service. No, I don't grease them, but you could if you want to.... I don't think it'd decrease the top end that much.

Just serviced my 302 but it’s still cranking slow which was the problem to start with. I have another one that cranks free and easy. More troubleshooting I guess. Good video!

Thanks for watching, Jimi! Sorry to hear the problem still exists. What have checked so far? Any noises/scraping sounds when you crank?

@@TSGReelService No noises. Disassembled and cleaned again this time using WD40 on all friction areas. New oil and grease and now cranks much better. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for that video. My 302 is working great, but the bailing wire doesn't seem to be going far enough up and the line hits it as it spools off. limiting cast distance any suggestions

@TSGReelService Жыл бұрын

You're welcome and thanks for checking out the video. I know what you're referring to... assuming that your bail mount is fine, try GENTLY bending the bail wire more and more OPEN when it's already in the open position by pulling back on it until it's in an acceptable "open" position. The goal is to try and get the bail wire to be more "open" in the open position without snapping the bail wire connection point near the cone (by the line roller)..... or, you can try purchasing a new bail wire here: ebay.us/qaToFr (affiliate link). Hope this helps.

Had that reel ever been in service? When you took it apart it looked like there was virtually no grease or oil on any of the inner parts - no grease on the oscillator or anything 🤔. Most of the ones I have worked on that were used were filthy inside and full of old brown grease.

@TSGReelService 4 ай бұрын

No clue, brother. Yes, most of the time you find a lot of crud and dried stuff in these older ones. Maybe it was stored outside and the grease broke down?

Unless you're just looking to display it, I would stay away from rods that age and use a newer medium/heavy 6' to 6' 6" rod that feels good in your hands. Hit up bass pro with your reel in hand and play with a few to see how they feel.... or have one custom made.
