Right on time..... My friend gave me two 704 Z last week and now I can get them ready to fish!!!!!
Nice!! Those are great reels. Good luck fishing with them - Dennis
Guys like you, keep Old School cool.😎 thanks again 👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome. Thanks for the note - Dennis
That one is almost as nice as mine! LOL. It is one of my most favorite reels. I have two other power knob handles for mine and I’ve put this reel, a 706Z, and a beautiful little 722Z in a nice Apache case. You worked on my 706Z and the video is in your library. I love these worm gear reels and you won’t find better gears in any fishing reel. That rubber washer thing is a rotor brake. The 706Z doesn’t have that part. I personally think this reel and the 706Z are the greatest spinning reels Penn ever made. Mine are original ones that I got back in the 1970s. I take meticulous care of mine and the only problem I’ve ever had was some micro sand that got in the line roller of my 706Z. Glad you did this one so you have both these great Z reels in your library. These reels were brought back by Penn by popular demand in 2013 for a limited run. Those recent 704Z and 706Z reels do not have that band on the rotor that denotes line size and capacity. That’s how you can tell an original from the later ones. Other than that they are absolutely identical. I have an original 1961 first edition Spinfisher 700. You can tell that greenie is an original by the solid green handle and the aluminum oscillation arm inside. They are pretty rare and hard to find particularly in good condition. What is your favorite of the big reels? I’d really like to know that. I think the 706Z is slightly larger. You know, when you have over 130 reels it’s impossible to change line on all of them every year!
I know that and I know that is quite a collection you have. Best wishes Chris and thanks for the additional information on the series - Dennis
Great reel, simple and easy to use. Thank you for reviewing
You bet - Thanks for watching - Dennis
Nice Video thanks
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis
Those metal Penn spinners were truly phenomenal reels of the utmost build quality, are there any nicer production reels than those? If so I want to check them out.
There are a lot of them both classic and current. Quality reels have always been made well and endure. The early spinfishers are good examples
Dennis, what is your favorite of the big reels? You once said you liked the Daiwa GS 9. I;ve also heard you mention the Daiwa Tournament reels. By the way, the 7o6Z is the largest because the rotor and spool are slightly larger and have a little greater line capacity. I just got my second one of these. - Chris
In modern reels, I like the Shimano Saragosa. In the older editions the Spinfishers and the bigger Mitchells are my choice - Thanks Chris - have a great holiday weekend - Dennis
Hi Dennis, thanks for the beautiful work on a beautiful reel. Can you give us recommendations on the grease you’ve used to the HT-100s? Thanks in advance.
I use Cal's drag grease, but you can use the Penn Reels grease too - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle Thanks Dennis !
What is with the square black plastic handle? Is that a newer handle? I thought these had the rounded handle. Also was there a difference between the gold spools and the black spools for these? Did they ever do what Mitchell did and have deep and shallow spools?
Yes - it is a replacement handle. These reels came with the original torpedo (football) handle knob
Thanks for the great vid. I just bought one of these reels. It is not running that smoothly, so I'm going to service it with help of your instructions. Was wondering what your fav big spinner is, since you mentioned it is not the 704Z.
I like the 704, but prefer the 7500 SpinFisher V in that series. I also like the Daiwa 7500 Silver Series and the Mitchell 386/486 in the vintage reels. Thanks for asking - Dennis
Hey do you know if the 704z and the 704 greenie use the same parts? because I got a greenie and can’t seem to find the parts I can only find it for the 704z thanks
They share a lot of parts. Check the schematics for both reels. You can find them at Mysticparts.com. If the part number is the same, they will work in either the 704 or the 704Z. If you have any doubt, you can call the folks at Mystic parts and they will try to help you
Dennis
This is one of the most workhorse reels. Could you please show which model is smallest and largest Spinfishers
OK. I don't have the smallest, but I will try to assembly the line up and show. Dennis
Hi Dennis, I recently bought a used shimano tr 100-g and it is Without the parts of the line guide, and Im in trouble to find these parts, can you help me with the names of it? (And sorry for my english, Im brazilian)
You can view the schematic and get the part names and numbers here www.mikesreelrepair.com/content/schematics/Shimano_TR_100G.pdf. Dennis
Hi Dennis, they did "Re-introduce" the 704Z, "Briefly" in the last 15 or so years. If I recall, the newer editions had an additional Bearing behind the main gear in addition to the bearing up top below the rotor. Do you recall the "Newer Brief Re-Introduced" Penn 704Z and 706Z Spinfishers?
According to Chris, another viewer, the newer edition was introduced in 2013 and lasted a few years. - Dennis
I bought two of the newer Penn 704zs, unfortunately the first reel came damaged as well as the second one so I completely lost interest in the reel. I ended up buying a Battle 3 but I really wanted to like the newer Penn 704zs but it seems the older models were built better and or had people who took pride in there work!
I took apart a 704 and the drag washers were all dry. You show the greasing process and you use drag grease but i don't have that. What else can i use. I'm not going to buy a tub for one reel.
you can use regular fishing reel greases. You can also buy them in 1 or 2 ounce containers. A combination pack of fishing reel oil and grease can be found on line for around $10. It is well worth the price paid - Dennis
You know any tricks for replacing the little rubber bail bumper on these reels? Part# 33-704. These things give me fits.
I don't. Several people have used epoxy and a piece or hard rubber tube or plastic as a replacement strategy.

Thanks. They're a bugger to get in the hole.
Dennis! How would you go about removing the bearing on this model if one was having trouble removing it for replacement?
Tony
Soak the top end in a penetrating oil and let it sit. I would remove the top end parts and collar, only leaving the pinion gear and bearing exposed. Then reattach the rotor and use the rotor as a handle to pull up or rock back and forth with upward pressure to remove it - Thanks how I would do it - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle Thanks Dennis! I will try that the next time a 704 or 704Z shows up on the bench!
Have a penn 704 z the main bearing and gear shaft is frozen. Is the a trick to pop it out after handle is removed
No fast magic. Soak the bearings with a penetrating oil like WD 40 and let it sit. If you need leverage on the pinion gear, reattach the spool to the shaft after you have removed the rotor and hold down collar and pull up on the spool - Dennis
Hey Dennis, quick question, would it be ok if I shared one of your videos to a Facebook group I'm in? Your latest Mitchell 300 video was a good one and I would like to share it to a vintage Mitchell group I'm in
Please do! I also have a Facebook presence at 2nd Chance Tackle, but I don't post as much there as I do on RUclips - Best wishes - Dennis
Do you need to grease the penn friction drag washer
It is optional if the washer is the HT-100 series. If they are the older leather washers, yes, go ahead and grease them - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle thank you
Do you have a listing of Penn reel you gave for sale?
I don't. I should. My stock changes frequently. If you are interested in a particular reel or reels, please send me a note to my email - 2ndchancetackle@gmail.com - Thanks for asking - Dennis
Hi Dennis is this Penn 704 for sale? You have more of a chance coming across them than I do up here.
I think so. I need to check for you - Dennis
@@2ndChanceTackle Thanks Dennis. One in nice shape. Thanks alot.
