It almost looks like the owner cut off the top of the level wind guide with wire cutters then was using the reel as a conventional reel. The shield turned upside down would stop the cut off guide from going back and forth and then the line stacked up on the side of the spool would be there to avoid the cut off guide.
Thanks Dennis.
You bet
Very cool! I have the Penn Rival 20lw.
The process is the same for servicing those reels - Dennis

Another great video for you Big Penn Guys .

I'm not sure what happened, just happy the reel gets a 2nd Chance - Thanks - Dennis
