Thank you sir, you are a lifesaver! Was trying to take my reel apart to understand the way it works more and I was getting very frustrated tryin to put it back together! 😂
Know why this is the only video you have found ? Only children and amateurs don't close their bails manually. Manufacturers don't even think about the bail flipping automatically and making an annoying CLANG !!!!!
Thank you so much. I was about to put my reel in the parts box. But ... I got the pins in the correct hole and Shazam it works. Thank you again, it's my favorite flounder reel😅
New fisher man had to completely dismantle my reel or lose it due to saltwater/sand ! Had it all but it was problem number 3 for me !! Goat bro thanks for the help !
First-time viewer, love the memes! (and music). Will try them out later today. Also, going to look up the differences between reel oil and WD-40 before I screw up my reel.
Just got a telescoping rod an' spinning for father's day (backpacker's walmart special), and it must have been on the shelf for 10 yrs cuz it was bone dry... forgot I could lube the bail arms, lol. Gotta love my boys, they know I like packing out to hard to get to honey-holes... if it's the thought that counts, they really thought about this one. I can't express how much I love it. Anyways, lubing it up did the trick, thanx.
Excellent video. I cleared up a few older reels. One question. I am using a Penn 4500 Slammer. When the spool cycles up to maximum extension, and I flip the bail, the bail does not clear the top of the spool. Would you attribute that to the bail being bent, or is there another cure for that?Thanks.
I can find any info on the issue where my bail is locking when I make a cast sometimes. I lost like 6 lures due to this problem since the bail randomly locks and my lure goes flying off into the water. Super frustrating..
So I was backing up a few months ago and said boy sounds like we had something pretty big! Well, it turned out it was my rod that I ran over with my Pflueger President 2500. I'll tell you it was recessed in the dirt flat... it was still in one piece but the Bail is bent and doesn't seem to spin quite right any longer, understandable. After watching I'm pretty sure it is just the Bale and I can bend it back. I will post back soon...
Most are designed for that so it's really fine either way but that wasn't the point of this video. Of course this comment came from someone posing with an invasive species they probably released and then promoted the python hunts. Florida is wild on logic
@@TheFishinDad And an excellent video it is. I would highly recommend it to any angler, beginner or experienced. It's good to know basic maintenance on ones fishing tackle. Some RUclips videos I've seen recommend the hand opening and closing of the bail as a way to reduce line twist and wear & tear on the real... As for the Peacock bass, it was first introduced to Hawaii in the 1950s as a way to control tilapia in the irrigation ditches and ponds of the sugar cane plantations on Kauai and Oahu. They are now the top freshwater sport fish in Hawaii along with the largemouth and smallmouth bass. You are right about "invasive species". People dumping unwanted aquariums have spread tropical fish throughout all streams and lakes in Hawaii. I would wager that Lake Wilson in Wahiawa has a larger variety of tropical aquarium fish than most pet stores... Aloha, Stan
HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM......close your bail manually instead of trying to close it like a child or amateur. Save the life of your bail and save others the headache of hearing the CLANG. Nobody does this that an experienced fisherman. I see complaints constantly about inexperienced people buying reels and complaining. It becomes a no brainer and faster when you get used to simply closing the bail correctly. Honestly , I can not believe that this is even an issue.
Learning to do something different as a work around isn’t a fix. Not everyone has to be like you, sorry. If the bail is meant to flip, then whether you need it or not, it’s not operating correctly and needs to be fixed.
When casting into shallow water it’s nice to be able to set the bail and retrieve as quickly as possible to avoid getting snagged on structure along a shore 🤷♂️
I, too, close my bails manually, but the reel is designed to trip with the handle, or manufacturers wouldn’t make a bail trip. The reason a lot of pros close their bails by hand is they broke a bail spring and learned to fish without it-by closing the bail by hand. Then, it just becomes habit, and avoids any more broken bail (or bent bail, or lube/cleaning issues). Plus, reaching for the spool area is a great way to control casting distance, especially when fishing a lot of trees and brush.
Most people that know anything at all about spinning reels close them by hand. This can be done as fast or faster than closing it by reeling. Closing the bail by turning the handle starts line twist.have fun with that

WD-40 *is* a lubricant, but not the best by any means. If you are going to go to all this trouble get reel oil.
Great video man, this was very helpful, and loved the comedic moments. 🙂👍
I can't believe it works to issue 1 and 2, it is fixed immediately thank you so much.
Thank you very much my friend, I have been dealing with this for 2 days, I solved it thanks to you.
Thank you. This video helped me on my Abu Garcia. I will be putting these three tips in my tackle box.
Of course mine was the 3rd issue... Thank you for your help! it is working great again!
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I had this exact issue and your video help me fix it very quickly.
You save the day for me. Thanks a bunch!

Love the added bloopers!!
Haha! Thanks, I have so many every time I try to record i might as well incorporate them😂
Dude. You made a painful repair of my fishing reel . . . Hilarious. I don’t even care if I fix it now. Thanks for the laughs my friend. Keep it up. 💪🏻
Great video. You just helped me save my son's favorite spinner.
you are a life saver
thank you so much
Nicely done. Glad I found your channel.
Helpful video with clever footage.
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!
TY! Bending back that wire worked like a charm.
This is the goat bro I love youuuiii❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very well explained, Thanks
Tried all three proposed solutions as I was coming along….?.Put it back together and the bail is working like new. 👍
You just saved me with this video ❤
Had the exact issue where the bail spring wasnt closing the bail, and yep i was placing the spring in the wrong slot. thanks!

I have the same issue. Did you find a fix?
To bad my plastic piece next to spring piece broke, I believe I am ready for the fix Thanks man
I had an issue #3, thanks for helping me out
Thanks a million bro
Thanks for the fix!
Thank you!! Working like new 🙌🏻
What reel oil you use?
The Fade song and dancing cracked me up… 😂
Good stuff ill be able to work on a few reels now
A sharp snap is such a great sound with spinning reels.
I can find any info on the issue where my bail is locking when I make a cast sometimes. I lost like 6 lures due to this problem since the bail randomly locks and my lure goes flying off into the water. Super frustrating..
Thanks for your help
Thanks!
Thank you Brother! 😉
Great Video, Thanks
Hey my bail is "loosey goosey" and I tried your fix method but still loose. Any other ideas?
Thank you.
Good video 👍
Nice video good to know👍

thanx
You da man!
Umm your awesome mine is frozen it won't move at all
You’re my fave lol ❤
Lol, I'm glad you like my nonsense 🤣 😘

Bro every time I try to put the bell back on I line the holes up and it just gets stuck. Been messing with it for a few days and starting to go Insane
by my bail spring there is some weird little metal thing anyone know what that is?
Gun Oil could work maybe?
Why do I know that "PHISH' is your favorite band!
We teach the kids to use their hand, not turning the reel handle, to close the bail after casting.

It still needs to be lubed! After all the years of fishing! No brainer
So make takers - so little givers. Instead of just thank you should have added if it was #1,2 or 3.
Thank you!
thanks
