Thanks for the conversation today.

[@glennmcleod4751]

The cabinet knob trick pretty neat...

[@2ndChanceTackle]

It is a cheap way to keep a reel fishing

[@raymondthompson1476]

Great video again Dennis. That doorknob trick really made me smile. Raymondo.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

It is a great bush fix that I have used a lot

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Hi Dennis you have your work cut out for your self those reels will be great when you are finished working on them god bless

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks 👍

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Great job on the video thanks Dennis

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Now we're talking conventional reels cool

[@gungadinn]

Dennis, the Penn Delmar reel might not have a broken spring. When you engaged and disengaged the free spool, the screw holding the lever on didn't move, to me indicating that the lever is rounded out or the shaft is rounded off.
You sure do get a lot of charter boat reels to repair. You'd think that one of the mates might be inquisitive to want to service the reels instead of just switching them out. That's my thinking about that.
As time goes on, these charter captains are going to be up a creek without a paddle as the work horse reels become obsolete for a lack of parts. The Chicom reels are apt to become one season and done.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

I noticed the screw also

[@2ndChanceTackle]

thanks - I will check that out too!

[@bobbymiller1672]

I spent money on Reels thT I know are not worth repairing but if I like the Reel thats reason enough for me .

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Me too! Thanks Bobby

[@alisellami5522]

very interesting

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Glad you think so! Thanks - Dennis

[@jeffreybabino8161]

That quantum reel 80 size probably used on the beach

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I'm sure it was. It was full of sand

[@iCrocodile]

I have 5$ reels , they serve for 20 years, lol.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

So do I!

[@iCrocodile]

@@2ndChanceTackle i don't know how it works, maybe magic)))

[@lukem7347]

Hey Dennis, what are your thoughts on upgrading/super tuning low end or old reels?

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I prefer to keep them original

[@comfortablynumb9342]

My dad just sent me one of those 10 bearing Chinese reels with a bait runner feature. I cast it twice, had 2 tangles, and realized that the design is absolutely terrible. What a waste of materials.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks for sharing - the number of bearings has little to do with performance is the design is poor

[@shawnbarry3893]

Garcia 206 junk

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks for the note. Some are better than others
