Your video had saved me with the anti reverse issue. I accidently put in wrong position and unable to stop the reverse. Your video show the anti reverse clip in the that sparked me.. Hahaha.. Although different brand, but the setup are mostly the same. Thank you!!!!
Shockingly, I have never opened one of these up before my bearing was in a housing with two screws holding the bearing down, I pulled it out to clean it and it was so seized up I used some pliers on the bearing and it SNAPPED!!! Thank god it has a housing I pulled each ball out and cleaned them and put it all back together and slid it back in the housing then put the screws back on and boom fixed! Thanks so much for the walkthrough!
I went fishing back in October at the NC coast and used 12 of my vintage fishing Rees (no Daiwa 8600 this time). It was the first week of November before I finished taking them all apart, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled them. Speaking of bearings vs bushings I have three of those huge Daiwa 9000C Silver Series saltwater reels that only have 1 ball bearing and nylon bushings. These reels are 50 years old and work perfectly! The 7000C in that series (I have four) has three ball bearing in it are I’ve had to work hard to bring some of those bearings back from being seized. I’ve even replaced a few in a 4000C. I use PB Blaster to rejuvenate old bearings if it is possible. I personally hate reels with an AR clutch and no override. I think I have one Quantum and I never use it. I am opposite of you as I saltwater fish a good part of the time. I wish I had an ultrasonic cleaner but I clean my reels the old fashioned way. At the coast I always rinse off and wipe down all my Rees after use. If any of them get dunked I take my tools with me and I’ll disassemble that reel at the beach house and clean and lube it right there. I have many of my best vintage Mitchells in waterproof cases to protect them. I also have cases for some Penn Z Rees and my Shimano SSG7000 saltwater rear drag reels. I use gun wipes to wipe off the outside of my reels after they are dry. You gave some great advice in this video! - Chris
Thanks very useful. I did the same thing to my Shakespeare excursion reel while shore fishing. Same issues with the bearings being locked now. I will open it up and confirm this and decide how to proceed.
Thank you for the video! Got a Piscifun flame reel and first time using it in the river but the sand banks made my reel fucked up and seized up the main bearing. Got it loose with nearly all the sand out but the I spilled some grease down in the anti reverse lock areas and now my reel won't stop spinning. But this video will help me now!
Thanks bud. I bought a kayak from a guy that was moving and he threw in all his rods and he had one reel that wouldn't turn. Well during your vid I took it apart and cleaned and greased it and now it feels like a champ. 👍
I really hate the plastic bushing.. Even Daiwa or Shimano had that too. I replace all bearing & bushing to the good & reliable one. And it work silky smooth!
I sold so many variations of that older Shimano you put up from 94-2002. Shimano just took that essential simple reel concept, and built a lot of their lineup around it. The ones you showed usually last the average angler 10 years by me (freshwater).
Those are decent reels and super cheap. Just reliable. Some of the really old ones with the same basic design from the 80's didn't use the fast cast setup, I wouldn't mind having one of those.
I have an interesting problem with my real it feels super smooth when you’re just testing it spins like a top free wheels just amazing but after your fishing with it for about 30 minutes to an hour it gets to where the handle doesn’t want to turn it starts sticking I have oiled it I’ve used real grease everything I know to do it’s quite the problem and it’s a new real and it has been this way since I purchased it I should’ve returned it but did not I thought it just needed broke in or a little lube
I agree and have a personal preference for older reels myself. I don't really like the idea of disposable reels but I own some (including these) that would fall into that category. At this time I do not service reels for others. I have thought about it though. I do occasionally rebuild some and offer them for sale via eBay. Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Was fishing off my buddies boat docked in a marina yesterday, wasn't really getting any bites but my reel was working fine. Well all the sudden my reel decided to lock up right as some fat daddy sheepshead came up to feed on a piling!! just my luck. I'm gonna try you're method to see if i can get er spinning again, thank you for the info.
Hey man, Been struggling with my shimano Sahara c3000. Last time i used it something got stuck and i broke most of the gears. I basically replaced all the innards, cleaned and lubed everything. Seems to turn smoothly until i put the rotor on and i can hear friction. If i go ahead and put the top nut on, the reel can barely turn. I put it back exactly as i remembered. Watched videos, looked at every diagram and can't seem to figure it out. Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks
It sounds like you are possibly missing a spacer washer that would go under the rotor. There have been a lot of different versions of the Sahara C3000 reels, so I’m not sure if this is the correct schematic for your particular reel or not…but take a look at part number 35 in the schematic. A part like that would be my first suspicion as the culprit. www.plat.co.jp/parts/SHIMANO-Spinning/SAHARA/17-SAHARA-C3000-03628.jpg
@@TheFishingHobby thanks for the response. Just took it apart again and i did have a washer there. But upon further investigating i noticed my clutch assembly was missing a roller. Not sure if that could cause that problem, but i guess I'll replace that and get back to you
I personally use Super Lube oil on parts that need to be oiled and Super Lube grease on parts that need to be greased. It isn't made specifically for reels, but a lot of people use it for reels.
Mike from Maine here greetings! I have a small micro light South Bend tiny pole I got it at the transfer station for next to nothingand reelPretty cool rig but broke the post for the oscillating gear inside and I had to put a screw through the side of the real casing I drilled it out and it actually came out pretty good it’s holding so far now I’m just trying to put the thing back together LOL doing all right so far
Appreciate the video I almost did one myself Well I have this whole thing taken apartbut I don’t have a lot of practice with that type of thing ha ha but thanks a lot
Here is an example of some cheap bearings: Generic MR147 7x14x3.5 mm Metal Open Ball Bearing (Pack of 10) by SnowSpitzShop Brand www.amazon.com/dp/B073X26D4Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_squ3CbATGGHZW I always order cheap ones because I just fish freshwater. If you want better quality, Boca bearings have a good reputation. Any well known bearing manufacturers will also have high quality bearings. Companies like Timken and others.
I fish freshwater almost exclusively so I use oil for my bearings. I use Superlube oil for bearings and shafts. If I were fishing saltwater, I'd grease the bearings with Superlube grease.
I just bought a new daiwa Bg 8000 and on the first day it started getting hard to crank. When my line is in the water it gets hard to make the line right or even reel in. Any tips?
I'm not sure exactly what is going on with your reel. Do you hear and grinding or rubbing sounds while reeling? My first thought would be something is binding. I have seen a bent spool oscillation shaft cause similar problems on other reels. You might want to take it out and roll it on a flat surface like thick glass or something similar and look for any signs of it being bent. Here is a great write up on those reels with a lot of disassembled pictures you can use for reference: www.alanhawk.com/reviews/bg16.html Good luck to you on figuring out what is going on. I hope you are able to get it working right!
It may have dried salt in the bearings locking it up. The water would dissolve the salt, freeing it up. I suppose you could keep doing that, but I'd relube it after it dried personally.
Hi Buddy, nice tips and video, can u help me out on my baitcasting reel also not take line while retrieving. Could you tell me why so what would be problem in it? Plz make a video on it and respond me soon waiting for ur suggestions
@@TheFishingHobby oh, but if u can ask to ur friend or any body else there. Who can give tip because with this problem or theme there is no any video on TH-cam. So people like me would definitely want to resolve it
I've been putting out several videos lately! Stop by my home page and take a look, might be something you like in the newer stuff 👍 I built an extra long ultralight rod out of an 8' long vertical jigging crappie rod that is a blast to fish with. You may want to check that video out. I have never made any bobbers but if I do I will be sure to make a video on them!
@@TheFishingHobby This one is so old I can't tell who made it. The handle is made of cane! I'm sure someone in the past put it on, but it looks factory. LOL It cast unbelievably! It is about 8'6" long and looks like bamboo, but is painted light and dark stripes along the length. But I have no experience with building rods. Trying to learn. ☺
I can't really answer that. What works well for me may not be what you need. I mostly use smaller freshwater spinning reels and I don't know much about larger or saltwater reels.
I'm not familiar with that reel, is it a spinning reel, a baitcast reel or a spincast reel? You can email me a picture of the reel and I may be able to help. thefishinghobby@gmail.com
Could be stuck from corrosion. Spray some wd40 down the oscillation shaft that the spool mounts to and let is soak overnight. Try again and see if it will come off.
@@chesterjamesalbiller1185 have you ever had it off in the past? Is it a pushbutton release spool or the type that comes off by removing the drag knob?
@@chesterjamesalbiller1185 if there is no push button release and you removed the drag knob then it should just pull straight off. You can remove the drag knob on some push button release spools and the spool won't come off because the push button isn't in place to actuate the release mechanism on the oscillation shaft.
As a 13 year old this really helped
Awesome! Glad it helped

Where in the world do you find parts? I have a pocket fishman that is rusted on the inside.
To find parts for that would probably require finding them or a parts reel on eBay.
