I have been servicing reels professionally for a long time. The video is great in assisting reel owners to be able to give their reel some TLC in the event it went swimming or just to look after it. Two things I'd change here.. 1. ALWAYS remove all those bearings from their recesses, that is the first point of ingress and factory lube job is piss poor at best. Once the salt gets to work between the stainless bearing and aluminum body you get galvanic corrosion and getting those bearings out, especially the Pinion Assembly can be a major issue. I always pull all bearings and grease the recesses. 2. No issue with generous grease application but I always remove old grease even if new from factory. I would also not use different grease/lube products as the cross contamination could cause the lubricants to be less effective through breakdown of key composition/formula. Got yourself a new sub as I enjoy all content around these topics. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for providing the feedback and subbing. That’s all great info and I appreciate people sharing their wisdom. I’ll keep it in mind for future videos!
Probably the best tutorial video on RUclips! Thank you for this detailed and thorough video, I was able to take my slammer apart and reassemble it perfectly.. My only complaint is that I have grease all over my computer mouse from pausing the video LOL
Great video as was your Slammer 3 video. I would love to see included is you removing what's needed to convert to manual bail closure. I cant bear to watch another expensive lure cartwheel into the deep when the bail trips on an attempted long cast.
Great video. I didn't realise my Penn Slammer IV had so many parts 😞 The main gear on my reel sounds like it does not have enough grease - there is a sort of dry metal on metal sound. I would like to just remove the side plate from the body and apply some blue grease to the main gear and other cogs. When removing the side plate of the body, what type/size of screwdriver is required ? Is it a Philips or flat head ? Thanks.
Hello, thanks for the video!!! I follow your videos which had help me a lot!. One question, I saw the Spool Click Plate with a little dent in the tip. (26:45) My Slammer 4 8500 has the same and I was wondering if that is normal or is damaged?. Thanks
Those should be for adjusting the lay of your line on the spool. The instructions in the box should explain those and whether you need them. Your line lay should be evenly distributed. More line up top and you need to add the washer to your main shaft under the spool. Too much line on the bottom of the spool, you need to remove the factory washer and add the spare only. Honestly, I’ve never used them.
Better idea, pay $25 to have it serviced. I never had a reel that needed servicing in 60 years of hard fishing almost daily. Rinse off and a squirt of wd40 all my reels ever need
You ain’t wrong. Stopping any corrosion (via WD40) is 90% of the battle. I have kept reels alive indefinitely with WD40, but a deep clean makes them run better if ran real hard for a long time.
I love the penn slammer 4 but the only things i dislike is that the line roller bearing isn't sealed 😅. I have 2 4500hs and I've replaced it once before but just curious if you know of any better replacement bearing for it. Great video Keep them coming 👍🏻

Great stuff

Haha definitely, for me it’s the grease and the camera gear. Glad the video helped!

I need my penn slammer 4 serviced!

Stop keeping up waiting, we are hungry for new video!! 😂
Does the rotor nut control how easy the handle knob turns?
G'day, what are the two spare small plastic washers that come in the box used for?
Those should be for adjusting the lay of your line on the spool. The instructions in the box should explain those and whether you need them. Your line lay should be evenly distributed.

Thanks! I appreciate the info. I WILL NEVER BUY A PENN REEL AGAIN 😮. MY OLD BUSHING CONVENTIONAL REELS ARE FAR SUPERIOR 😊
Hey bro where can i buy penn bail arms for slammer 4 8500?
What is the number of the Penn Pursuit 5000 anti-reverse?

I believer the newer ones do have line roller bearings now
Is the authority supposed to have that little plastic bushing in the pinion I took mine apart and didn't see one
Yes it should be there. Could’ve been missed at the factory.
