how to clean a spinning reel

[mrsjtucker]

Would normal grease work?

[cardinalmustang99]

You rock lol

[XRS975]

Ya, be careful taking these reels apart. Some parts are spring loaded and parts can go popping off and might be difficult to put back.

Great tutorial, keep it up.

[FloridaSalon]

GREAT INFO AND CAMERA WORK. THANKS

[seanyglass]

Good video. I know reels vary in the way they are built, but the general build of most spinning reels is the same. I think this will be a useful tool for people to be able to service their own reels. Thanks again.

[DrChadND]

Thanks for the information; I had never done this before and your video was a big help!

[acefrehley813]

`great video i did this with my reel and its so smooth

[LandauTST]

My reel is a bit older (if that has anything to do with it) and the drag is a knob on the back. Does that just unscrew too? Don't want to dive right into it without being sure.

[djd3mon]

I take apart my reels and wash every single piece with hot water & soap, dry the pieces with a towel first, then dry them with a blow dryer, then reassemble it, greasing it and oiling it as I put it back together. The water cannot hurt the reel as long as I know it is dry correct? Am I over cleaning the reel or is what I am doing good for the reel?

[SCAREDYCATFISHIN]

ya like skateboard wheel bearing oil is what i use for my bearings. i think the stuff i use is called speed x very good stuff but only use it on your bearings. for your gear grease i reccomend penn reel grease or abu garcia reel grease

what a stupid kid

[coscott228]

@Eric2827 im sorry u feel that way im just tryin to help peoploe out with keeping there gear in good working condition

[fixyourfacenow]

@Eric2827 Not a very constructive comment is it, Dick

Also its worth a mention that if you open up your reel and your grease that is already on your cogs/oil on bearings is black, use dry cotton buds to remove the excess and then de-grease them with a de-greasing solution (lighter fluid also works), then follow this guys instructions.:D

[stratosguy1]

@Eric2827 Your a putz and a moron to criticize a kid that is trying to be helpful! You helped me and

@Eric2827 What a stupid comment....

[blaster42008]

@Eric2827 you are stupid, i think he did a great job!!

[fishingadventures]

I had my whole reel dipped into the sea while fishing a big one .. after a week or so, i feel some roughness, and so i found your vid ..

while stripping my reel i felt salt particles on the gears ... how do i get rid of it as the gears are still oily/greasy?

[coscott228]

@fishingadventures the best way to do that is very carefully get a clean brush with no oil or grease on it and wipe off the gears...



[MrTracker16]

@coscott228 Always remember you grease gears after clenaed and oil bearing, you can clean bearings also but near as critical as the gears.

Great video. Camera girl did fantastic. In fact you should make lots of videos if Camera Girl can help. Good job.

[nauris705]

JESUS. ID RATHER WAIT TILL IT FEELS SHITTY AND BUY ANOTHER.

[soarky325]

I appreciate the vid. I never bothered in the past to maintain my reels and just recently it got really nasty and noisy. When i got into the housing my gear wouldn't come out. it would move around and it was loose but wasnt possible to take out. I manage to grease it anyway. Have you ever seen that before?

[oskiegonz]

good video! saved to favorites

[ddavid993]

OK well at the end there was a screw and a o ring or washer still on the table

u forgot something lol

[RaymondWells]

Very nice job on the video, I just started fishing again and was wondering how to maintain my reels, you covered all the bases. Thanks!

[cleemeyer1]

thank you!

[dko25]

i was wondering, what should I do with my spinning reel after fishing in salt water. please reply

[coscott228]

um really u want to put your entire pole in the shower and rinse them down but just using a waterhose to spray them down is fine just make sure u get the eyes and handle and stuff bcuz saltwater will make a green limey substance build up on your pole

[YooTooDude]

Thanks mate, helped a lot.
