A friend showed up with one of these that was inoperable. As usual, after viewing this I knew exactly what to expect. The owner is now a happier camper. Thanks!

Appreciate you passing down your knowledge to us who like to maintenance our own reels

Thanks Dennis. I have 2 of these exact trolling reels. Very helpful!

Always wanted to try a Shimano Triton but fell in love with the Daiwa Sealine series and never looked back

Hello Dennis . . . Nice fishing reel - adjusting the free spool is some what tricky but to the person who will be using it they should get use to it - good video .

Good evening Dennis. At one time replacing line was inexpensive, not anymore, at least for large reels. Smaller reels that can be filled with a 1/4 pound spool are inexpensive to re-line. A large reel which requires 600-800 yards of line or more can cost you over $200. When you get into the 130 class reels, (150 - 250 lb test) figure $700 for a mix of mono and braid. Ultra violet light is the culprit with damaging monofilament fishing line. Keep the reels covered and you can extend the life of the line. Braid is more effected by abrasion, so inspect your line at every use. Keep up the good work.

Great Content! I have a question on a tld50. Actually 2 of them since purchased new. Drag is set to desired setting, however almost fully engages as soon as the lever is advanced out of freespool. Any idea what this could be?

Hello, I have a 300 Mitchell myself. I took it apart to clean and fresh grease. I put it back together correctly but noticed when turning the reel handle the spool should so up and down constantly? Mine goes up and stays up for about 20 turns then goes down and stuck down for another 5 to 50 turns. The teeth on the gears look fine. The gear with the 3 nubs on the back that goes in the plate might be worn slightly. What could cause this?

Hi what is the preset nob spring do

looks borderline over filled with line
