I really like that you take care of your equipment. Too many people treat gear as disposable. A good reel is not cheap and if taken care of they can last decades.
That video is going to give me stress dreams. In my early teens I used to service my reels. Basic reels like budget Shakespeare's and Mitchell 300's. The 300 was a fancy reel back then. I still used to find it difficult. The main thing was to put grease on the inside and oil everywhere else. If I opened a modern reel it would look like a claymore went off in the room. 😂 Nice work by the way.
Great video. Very detailed and well put together. Most people do not go beyond the hose down. You not only explained the how but more importantly the why. 👍👍
Corrosion X is great stuff, I work on airplanes for a living and we use it to coat the inside of the wings as a preventative measure. Fun Fact: The Navy developed Corrosion X for the planes on the aircraft carriers due to the salty environment.
You're a hoot, "... any salt corrosion or old grease and stuff like that, it's like you ex, you just gotta get rid of it," that's a clever line. Ryan, your videos are getting increasingly polished. Also want to give you a shout out for sporting the Gator cap. It's just a matter of time until you hit your first million subscribers.
Man… that was a great tutorial 🔥! I won’t buy a reel unless you or Tackle Advisors tells me it’s worth the money. Huge fan of both of you. Tackle Advisors has a link to a “ bearing buddy “ tool that you may be interested in. Thank you for all the work you put in! Do you have any reels that you would rather send in to have serviced, other then Van Staal?
Excellent Video! watched every minute of it! I just recently subscribed to your channel, and I'm glad I did. I own several Saragosas, and I'm sure this video will help me increase there service life. I will be telling my friends about Your channel! Tight Lines!
Great. Unfortunately I cannot do the amount of fishing that used to do. Use Multiplier , Grinder and Sometimes Center Pin. I take off my line and check for damage. Then strip those reels down to the casing. Was them out with diesel fuel and Air dry them. Do a inspection on the parts oil and grease and put back together. My oldest reel is over 50 years Penn 49 /49A / Jigmaster 500/ 505/ 85 Delmar , Diawa 50 H/ 350 H, Point 180 , Mitchell 321 , Stillstar 8000 and 7 Okuma. All as smooth as new. Taking a whole day to service them. Individual wrapped in their own sock. Just maintenance and they will last a lifetime 🎣
I tried to open a shimano reel and while trying to put everything back a tiny spring flew off and landed somewhere on the floor.. i couldn't find the tiny spring and not only that. Also a very tiny washer also felt off. So that was it.. the shimano reel turned into a useless brick.. i was so pissed that the next day i went to the store and spent $200 on another reel.. what an expensive way to learn. Fast forward, 4 years later i had bought many many reels., some to replace reels that i had broke or damaged while fishing.. in other words, i just buy a new reel when too much sands get inside the reel.. but i don't try to fix them because a damaged reel is better than a bricked one.
Hello, first of all, good video, I'm commenting because I have a question to ask you, could you recommend a type of grease for my reels? I have seen the ones from the shimano brand (ship-0, ace-0,..), but I am not sure which one to use in each place. thank you.
I rather do preventative maintenance first. Lock down the drag, run fresh water through the line, spray down the roller on the bail. spray the reels down after with mist from a spray bottle and wipe it down. Oil knob shaft and roller.
That’s definitely important too! It’s not an “either or” trade off though. While I wash off my gear after every trip and oil my line rollers every 2-3 months. I’ll usually tear down a year every 12-18 months based on usage! Tight lines Sir 🍻🤙🏼
@@RyanMorie great informative video tho, I’ll rather stub my toe 5 times then to be dealt with putting together an anti reverse 😂 but part two of this should be with a mag sealed Daiwa 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod ruclips.net/user/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.
Great video Ryan, quick question on your rods though. Do you prefer the quality of your ocean’s legacy rod more than your Phenix black diamond or vice versa. I know your rods are different specifications but just if you had to choose one brand over the other. Annnnd where to buy Thanks
I tried to do with maintenance in m daiwa 4000 series then got lost. I didnt know how to put it together again. I just put grease and oil without removing all the parts now.hahah
I personally don’t even open up the whole antireverse rotor bearing section anymore. Every time I do and mess with those tiny parts it never seems to go back right (definitely user error lol)
Thanks for the video man.just start doing maintenance by myself recently and this is very helpful for me,thanks. I have a question to ask if you don't mind : is it OK using the WD-40 or any kind of degresser as a cleaning fluid? I'm thinking of using WD-40 to wash the old greese out,some peole say it will ruinig the reel and others says it's totally fine, makes me very confused which one is the correct method.i'm curious what your opinion. Thanks for answer the question BTW.😃😃
There's also dartanium drag washers like In a shimano calcutta. They break into pieces if you put pressure on them on an uneven surface. Be very careful cleaning them.
For sure! I like the feeling of corrosion X grease more, it just is a lil tackier and seems to stay in place well. However, Shimano products are great too
I think one should at least know how to clean your drag washers and put them back. take the parts diagram for your reel and put the washers down one by one as they come out and match to description.. often it is something like tabbed metal washer, teflon washer, metal washer with squared midddle, then teflon and and tabbed metal one again, repeating the pattern.. clean that sucker up with some degreaser (I use some brandy if I have nothing else at hand.) most of my reels are pretty old and the spinning ones all tend to have drag in the butt, only one screw to remove to get it apart. getting a small parts tray with compartments makes it easy to remember which parts and screws etc go together in each section I still stack it out in order inthe trays..
I don't plan on doing this (all those parts give me anxiety 😂), but I still watched the whole video. good job 👍👍
Lmao you definitely could do it if you wanted to! Thanks for watching Brook!
This comment is exactly how I felt🤣🤣
How the fuk I can remember what where to add after I oil them all 😆
Atleast you're honest LOL

Mitchell 300 is easy, only tricky part is the bail return spring.
The fresh water fishermen just dunk it in the lake, water and keep on fishing lol 😂
That was a lot of great information thanks
No Freshwater Freddies on this channel 🤣
We need more videos like this very informative stuff like this is why tackle advisor was so popular
Great video. Very detailed and well put together. Most people do not go beyond the hose down. You not only explained the how but more importantly the why. 👍👍
Glad you liked it! Tight lines 🤙🏼🍻
Thanks. I'm going to try it for the first time. Your video is very helpful
Great video and definitely educational to fisherman. Keep up the good work and great content!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Giggled at "more grease in my hair than an 80's movie". SUMMER LOVIN' 🕺

Def love the vibe of this vid😂😂👍👍
I'm glad!
My heavily used reels get serviced (oiled, greased and new drag washers) yearly and those that get used on occasion get serviced every other year.
Nice video man!!
Thanks for watching my guy! 🍻
Just cleaned my reels. Now I’m going to go back and do it properly. 🤣

Nice stella in the thumbnail
Lmao I was wondering when someone was gonna notice that 🤣
@@RyanMorie first thing I noticed! But I figured it was going to be about a stella not being worth the extra cash over a saragosa.
Great tutorial, can tell that wasn't your first time...
can we get a rod and reel collection
I miss tackle advisor videos
Same!
I tried to do with maintenance in m daiwa 4000 series then got lost. I didnt know how to put it together again. I just put grease and oil without removing all the parts now.hahah
Need the same thing for lever drag conventionals
Great vid.
I personally don’t even open up the whole antireverse rotor bearing section anymore. Every time I do and mess with those tiny parts it never seems to go back right (definitely user error lol)
Once i did it a few times I figured it out haha. Just takes a lil experience like anything else!
Hey Ryan! What is your go to after fishing salt water? Do you rinse them every time? Thanks!
Yes 100% rinse after every trip
@@RyanMorie Rad, thanks!
Axel grease? Can I use my west marine grease . The blue stuff?
how often should Ido this
Hi! Just ordered a penn slammer iv 3500, do you think i need to open the reel and grease it or just leave it as it from the box?
impresionante ‼️👌

I have a couple reels for you when can I drop them off 😎
There's also dartanium drag washers like In a shimano calcutta. They break into pieces if you put pressure on them on an uneven surface. Be very careful cleaning them.
i second the anxiety
I took mine apart last night, now I have an extra tiny, tiny spring and some white piece that I think came from my bail trip.
Sooooo, help? Lol
Watch tackle advisors
Would you recommend to you the Shimano oil and grease reel maintenance kit for this process?
For sure! I like the feeling of corrosion X grease more, it just is a lil tackier and seems to stay in place well. However, Shimano products are great too
@@RyanMorie Great. Thank you for the info.
I take apart my reel once a year and clean them then grease it up
🤣🤣 10 outta 10 performance
Bahaha I knew you’d like this one! 🤣
@@RyanMorie I love it 🤣. You are gunna make 1 heck of a dad 1 day with your dad jokes
“ this will work on most saltwater spurners “😂😂😂
