A superb tutorial. As the proud owner of a nearly mint Penn Senator 6/0 , inherited from my father, but not fished for 50 years, I will enjoy stripping it down and cleaning it up. Also the 50 year old line on it could do with replacement!
When I reassemble the bridge/assembly and dog/spring back into the head plate, I do two things to make it easier and to not have to worry about chasing the dreaded "flying dog spring" across the shop. First I cut two small strips of masking tape, one, to hold the head of the screw that is put in place to hold the dog still, and two, a tiny piece over the end of the dog spring from flying out of it's place in the well while I rotate the bridge into it's final position. The tape holds these components for me while I line up everything else, and they peel off easy after they are no longer needed. The two strips of masking tape act like a third and fourth hand, so to speak, or extra fingers if that makes more sense. I have never had to chase a flying spring again after I started doing this. I hope this helps someone out there to make reassembly a bit easier. Great, clear video. Thank you.
Great Video . . . I have been looking crazy to find a video like this one where you show step by step how to dismantle this kind of fishing reel and to put it all back together - I have a few old fishing reels from my grandfather where they require cleaning and greasing up - just subscribed to your channel .
Bought a used one for about half price. Gave my 6/0 to my Son and now I wanted another one. I'm curious. I only saw you ose a little oil on the exterior of the clicker slide lever and nowhere else. Also, I was taught to grease around the inside edges of the spool to prevent water from getting inside.
Thanks for watching! General places on these reels I'll oil are the bearings and handle knob. Everything else, I'll usually use grease. Regarding the greasing of the rim of the spool, you should do it if it gives you peace of mind, but that probably doesn't help.... however, greasing the entire inside of the spool will protect the metal. If you're talking about greasing the edges of the spool to block water from getting inside to the gears and such, that wont help. Hope the info helps. Spread the word about the channel.
Great Videos! Can you share some of the grease and lubes you use? I want to tackle my baitrunners but have no idea what products should be used. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and your input. I love using them. Some people prefer using a power screwdriver, but I like to "feel" the screws. More vids to come. Spread the word about the channel.
Thanks for watching and sharing! I don't think these pins are like those on some baitcaster spools where one end is sloped, but I have found that these pins usually only go back in a specific way after removal, probably because of stress on one end when pounding/pressing it in. All the gear sleeve pins I have are a consistent thickness throughout and the ones at Mystic look to be the same: www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/Parts/102-114.aspx It'd be great if you could upload a video of a new pin that's sloped.
where do you get your parts? I need the right side bearing assembly part# 1182119. it is frozen on the shaft, and trying to get it off. thanks for your help
Hi! You're welcome and thanks for checking out the video! Try eBay...... they should have sellers that have what you want (see my list in the community board). You may have to use t a mail forwarding company to get your orders shipped to Mexico, as not many sellers ship directly there. For the 114H (6/0) and 115L (9/0), you're looking for either the 6-115, for the carbon fiber drag washers only...... or 6-114HSP for the complete kit.
Thanks for watching! Not that I know of. The double dog is set up opposing each other, like on a Formula KG. If you set the bridge flat on a table with the post at the bottom and look from above, one dog tooth should be facing up and the other facing down. You'll need to set the springs accordingly to facilitate that look with the springs adding pressure to the back side of each dog. Hope that helps.
Hello...I have a penn senator 112 h reel for a long time ago and I have dealing with the clicker and my problem is I am stuck for how to release it for maintained.may I get help for this...thanxs a lot
Thanks for checking out the video. Yes... my videos show you how to deal with the e-clip version and the peened version. Peruse my video library for the answer you seek... TH-cam.com/TSGReelService Spread the word about the channel.
TSG, do you have a shop so when I'm over my head on project I can send it to you for repair? Any place you recommend for parts? I've been using Mystic and eBay.
Hi Scott. You can always email me at tsgreelservice@gmail.com and I'll let you know if I can help. Those two are the best options for Penn related parts, unfortunately.
It sounds like you're pinching the star knob with the handle. Undo the bolt, leave the handle on and keep turning the star knob so it goes down more. Let me know if that helps.
I just discovered TSG. His videos are great. I repair / rebuild a lot of the same reels. But to answer your question I have been using semi chrome polish with great results.
Appreciated the video content? Want to show some love?

Note that the pin on the gear sleeve only comes off and goes on one way only.

Thanks for stopping by. Check the video description.
What do i use to clean off all the crud and crap and get the chrome all clean and shiney again....
Thanks for watching! I'll be doing a comprehensive Senator restoration video and posting it within the next month or two, so stay tuned.
I'm breaking down 3 of these reels and upgrading the drag's on all of them. What do you use to remove old grease from the insides?
I use Corrosion X. You can use other stuff like WD-40 if you prefer.
@@TSGReelService thanks man!
Can you make a video about the handle i have the one that has two ends looks like it has weights on one end the other has the wooden knob.
Thanks for checking out the video! No, sorry.

Hola. Gracias por mostrarnos como hacerlo a detalles. Yo estoy en México donde puedo comprar las rondanas de frenos para estos carretes . Gracias

Is there a video somewhere for the Penn US senator 113W, I’m having trouble reassembling the two dog springs
Thanks for watching! Not that I know of. The double dog is set up opposing each other, like on a Formula KG. If you set the bridge flat on a table with the post at the bottom and look from above, one dog tooth should be facing up and the other facing down. You'll need to set the springs accordingly to facilitate that look with the springs adding pressure to the back side of each dog. Hope that helps.

I have the 114h
What is the difference between the 114h & the regular 114
Mainly just the speed of the gears.
Can I buy that
long wrenchy tool you have straight from penn??
Hi. It's aftermarket, so check eBay. I don't remember the name.
just found one on ebay
What kind of grease and oil do you use?
Penn & ReelX
Whats the name of hand tool used to open the handle screw. The part after removal of tiny screw
Thanks for watching. Don't remember. Sorry. Check eBay for wrench.
TSG, do you have a shop so when I'm over my head on project I can send it to you for repair? Any place you recommend for parts? I've been using Mystic and eBay.
Hi Scott. You can always email me at tsgreelservice@gmail.com and I'll let you know if I can help. Those two are the best options for Penn related parts, unfortunately.
I'm having trouble with the drag. When I put the handle back on and tighten the bolt. I can't move the drag star at all to adjust the drag.
Thank you for this video. I have never owned a Penn. Your video help me greatly to give me confidence to take it apart and put it back together.
It sounds like you're pinching the star knob with the handle. Undo the bolt, leave the handle on and keep turning the star knob so it goes down more. Let me know if that helps.
You're welcome and glad it helped. Subscribe, if you haven't already done so, and spread the word about the channel. Thanks!
Where did u get that tool to remove that bolt from the handle?
Thanks for checking out the video. Probably from mysticparts.com
Hello what is the price for one of this used ?
Do you sell any of them ?
Thanks for watching! Do your research.... prices vary widely.... all the best in your search.
What did you use to clean the side plates and the chrome?
Thanks for watching.... steel wool.... #0000
Also what do you use to polish the metal?
You can try chrome polish. Spread the word about the channel. Thanks!

More parts and screws than a jet plane.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Hi mate, curious what kind of grease you're using for the majority of the reel? The blue stuff? Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for watching! Penn grease.
