Thank You! My Penn Battle 3000 squeaks - a lot. It was hanging up on the retrieve like every 5th or 6th turn. A local guy greased it, without disassembly, and the retrieve is now smooth but it still consistently squeaks - very irritating. You've given me the confidence to open it up and get some lube on the insides.
You know why I don’t particularly like this reel but I liked this video a lot. You are teaching a valuable lesson when replacing a main gear The few times this has happened to me I replace the main gear and pinion and sometimes even the oscillation gear if the reel has one all at the same time. This has only happened to me on a big Mitchell saltwater spinning reel that d have an oscillation gearI. I just don’t want to take any chances. This conflict reel looks to be a common design and a solid reel. Glad you shared this reel! - PS. Chris. P.S. This afternoon thanks to a very generous friend I got a Fin Nor Tycoon No. 4 reel for my collection. The reel looks absolutely new. It is a beauty!
Yes. Guide services generally use the reels every day and with different folks using them, they are prone to misuse or abuse. This one is ready to go again - Best wishes Bobby
This was a good video
Thank you

You can do it! Best wishes - Dennis
