Excellent coverage as usual best full detailed breakdown of how to do fathom reels I have seen ..keep the vids coming great to watch especially as fishing is no go for many people
Excellent video. Staring at 10:58 Per schematic, It looks like the first washer put on should go on last (on top of the clicker). Mine didn't work correctly until i made the switch.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a first gen fathom 15 SD. The drag still engages when in free spool. Did I miss anything when putting back together? I hope you can do a similar video for the first gen fathom.
@@farley1968 you can do if you wish have no grease at all and just oil the pinion and moving parts but the carbon drag washers do require penn grease unless you run them dry.
Hello sr, what You use to clean it outside after salty water fishing? And also wich oil and Grease to use? I don't have acces to fishing reel lubricants, and Also, the bearings of the fathom 2 are ceramic? If not, it worth yo upgrade yo ceramic ones?. Thanks and have a Nice day
Dont need ceramic bearings, they run fine as they are. As far as cleaning after sea fishing goes, with mine like every other reel i own, i rinse them under warm running tapwater when i get home. Been doing it for years and not had a reel with any corrosion yet

Hello mate I don’t this on a year old real was all working fine before put it all back together as in the video but now my handle slides and I can pull line of the spool with hardly and force with the star drag set as tight as it will go what do you reckon I’ve done maybe something wrong putting it back ?
Mine did the same thing because like his, the washers are not on correctly. Watch at 10:58, the first washer he puts on should should go on last. That first washer goes on top of the clicker per schematics.
Quality and in depth as always. Thanks to you I have serviced all my own reels for a while now.

Excellent tutorial cheers mate! Do you think it would differ much on a lever drag?
the lever drag will be difrent
Great video many thanks - I have the casting special and I presume the procedure would be similar
exactly just the spool is bigger and the knobby mag. cheers
@@StarfishSeaFishing is the Penn grease definitely required or would Rocket fuel liquid grease do the job?
@@farley1968 you can do if you wish have no grease at all and just oil the pinion and moving parts but the carbon drag washers do require penn grease unless you run them dry.
What temperature do you wash your table cloth at?
haha 60 plus cheers john larrrr.
just watched all your reel servicing videos, absolutely fantastic.
any chance you can do one on the new diawa saltist 30.?
if i had one i would do very good reels the satlist
Another great video......great tip on using the spool shaft to remove that bearing,thanks.🎣
(Is that rocket fuel you use as oil?)
red rocket fuel works for me there are a few difrent types
@@StarfishSeaFishingthanks, I use the same,seems to work fine as you say,even use it in my spinning reels. 🎣
