  • I found a pole with this exact same model reel on a kayak trip down the Llano River this weekend! The pole was trash, but the reel was fine. It was caked with mud, but I managed to take it apart and get it running thanks to this video! Thanks for posting!

  • @skategreaser

    Nice find, good eye! haha..

  • great video do u no how mto take the level wind offf the reels

  • Oh hey I didn't see you commented. How do you mean "take the level wind off the reels"? You want to take out the spool?

  • i got an ultra sonic cleaner. use 10:1 water/simplegreen for all painted and plastic parts. clean bearings and gears in sealed jar of acetone and place jar in machine full of water. my ABUs are much smoother and faster than anybody on the dock. oh and get a bearing idler gear and dual bearing levelwind.

  • Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

  • Nice tutorial!

  • GREAT VID... HOW DO YOU FIX THE GUIDE FROM STICKING TO ONE SIDE....

  • @Pontoonian Awesome slideshow, thanks for sharing:)

  • Good Video! Someone threw away a rod and reel cause of a bad backlash. Picked it up and followed this video and now i got a "new" reel. For some reason i had to put the handle in the same way because it would go on crooked the other way.

  • what model number reel is this? im curious

  • this is a good video bro., very informative. I was afraid to take my reel apart bcuz i might not know how to put it back together again. but now i'm going to clean mine too. thanks to u....
