Thanks for checking out the video and your dedication to getting it right. Glad to hear it's working better. If it's still a little hard to spin, I presume it was harder to spin before you started.... if that's the case, let's see if we can make it like new.... first check your pinion bearing, then the rest of your bearings to make sure they are spinning fine.... then check out this video because they probably aren't: ruclips.net/video/GI02FQMq9Nk/видео.html Hope this helps.
It's a long and arduous task ridding the world of those tasty fish, but someone has to do it. :) Glad I could help and thanks for watching! Hit the thumbs up and spread the word about the channel.
I predominantly fish saltwater, like 95%, but I too have an always in the car reel for freshwater. Usually it's for if I drive by a spot I think may have crappie! It's a Pflueger President that has seen better days but has lived a quality life for a reel. It's caught a lot of fish and seen a lot of action. I bought it used a decade ago at least from a guy who used in it the neighborhood pond behind his house almost everyday. Absolutely love it.
I LOVE these stories! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure if most of us thought about it, it's usually one of our least glamorous reel that sees most of the fish. Hope it hangs in there for you.
Wow…attempted to pull exactly the same reel apart today. Really wish I’d watched your vid first…brilliant!!! Will definitely keep it as a reference for future servicing. Thanks
I have the gx225. I just got a new ultralight rod and was gonna get a new revros but after seeing this, maybe I will try to service it and save some $. The bail trip doesn't want to work. It's old and never been serviced
@@TSGReelService It won't flip on it's own. A little resistance then it just starts to rotate with the bail open. When I close it manually the spring feels weak but it stays closed and is fishable. I probably damaged it by forcing it
Okay, got it. Try removing the bail wire and lining it up over the posts on the rotor that it rides on.... if it's too tight of a fit, try opening the bail little by little until it feels like a comfortable fit. If it's too wide when you test it, do the opposite..... and see how the flip works then. I have this tip in one of my Spinfisher videos, but can't remember which one. Sorry.
How do I put the trip wire and spring back in place for the bail? I’m trying to do what you did but I’m having trouble Edit: I FINALLY GOT IT. THANK YOU
Hi, my uncle gave me a GX250 reel as a gift, but it missed the line roller, the bushing, the washer, and the collar. Do you know where I can purchase Shakespeare reel parts? Also, I would like to upgrade it with stainless steel bearings. Thanks for your video 🙂
You're welcome and thanks for checking out the video. Happy to hear the reel is being kept in service. Best place to try for that stuff would be eBay..... try this link.... www.ebay.com/itm/225627842243 If he doesn't have what you're looking for, try reaching out to him.... he's a good seller. For the bearings, you'll need the measurements inner dimensions, outer dimensions and width in millimeters before searching for them.... you can use a caliper.
The piece thats inside the spring(the spring that goes over the trip are), it doesnt want to stay in place, so i am unable to line em up properly. Can you help???
Thanks for checking out the video. Make a video of the problem you're having and send me a link to it so I can view what you're referring to. Thanks. Or, you can watch this video a few more times while you try to work on your reel to see if you can get it to work. Thanks again.
Anyone know the screw size that goes on the part of the bail arm that houses the spring and pin? Seems mine fell off and i cant find the size anywhere or where to order it.
Could be the drive gear bushing/bearing or too much lateral handle force. Could be the handle sits too low on one side and not the other. These are the things that come to the top of my mind. Hope it helps.
@@TSGReelServiceThank you, i think the handle sits too low on the right.... (years of use) I think it's just plain old worn out on that side. Thanks a ton for the video by the way!

Yes, give it a shot.... check out my everglades fishing video to see it in action. What's your bail flip doing?

Can you do a vid for the gx235 instead of 230 please
Hi, probably not.
I need a new handle for the exact reel what brand do you recommend?
Thanks for checking out the video! Buy another one.... you can get one pretty cheap: ebay.us/CyiE0f

Thanks for checking out the video! I don't, sorry.
Any idea why my real (gx225) would be stiff when the handle is on the right side? But not stiff when I switch the handle over to the left?

@@TomahawkTom you're welcome and no worries. Yes, that can happen on a well-loved reel. Spread the word about the channel.
Very helpful, thank you! Need to do the same. Do you have oils and grease you recommend?
You're welcome and thanks for watching! I predominantly use Penn grease, Corrosion X and Reel X. More vids to come.
Hey I’m having trouble getting the gold bolt back on the reel any suggestion
Hi, no. If it came off okay, then you should be able to get it back on.... unless you damaged something.
@@TSGReelService it goes on fine there just not enough room for it to go back on
What specific time in the video are you having an issue with?
20:19 putting that bolt back on
Sounds like you broke the pinion support. See minute 27ish on of this video:

How much drag have ?
?
How much drag does this reel has?
How much drag do you need?
@@TSGReelService 6lb would be great.
Then you're good. Enjoy it.
@@TSGReelService Thank you👍
can you help me ?
Great video, thanks, love the rod but the real they pair with it is kinda junky imo
Thanks for checking out the video. To each, their own, of course. I kinda like the reel. 🙂
I should have paid closer attention I messed up my reel 🤦🏽♂️
Sorry to hear. What do you mess up?
@@TSGReelService the circle where metal in the spring goes
@@TSGReelService Do u know where u could buy parts?
I don't know what that is. Try giving me the time in the video it is.
@@TSGReelService It’s at 7:55.
