Now that I’m retired I’ve collected a number of spinning and bait casting reels. I also watch a lot of fishing related videos. This is the best reel maintenance video I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing this very useful information. God Bless!

[@wendellfishing]

Right on

[@johnburrows5535]

Thank you so much for this lesson! I have owned spinning reels for decades and never oiled/greased them. This has inspired me to do it and do it right!👍

[@wendellfishing]

Glad it helped!

[@robertlosasso4222]

Take a can of WD40 once in a while and spray your rod and reel , line and all thoroughly, then take a garden hose and rinse it off and place it in the sun till it drys . It will keep it clean and free of corrosion if you fish salt water .

[@yiayang3403]

Thanks for the video. Helped me out a lot. I bought a used rod and reel. The reel was not smooth. Bought the oil and grease you use in this video and it’s so much smoother now. Haven’t tried it out but it is smoother. Thanks again.

[@wendellfishing]

Happy to help!

[@leafster1337]

eventually u have to clean it out, but id venture an average angler would do it once a year, before the big season they like to fish. doing yourself is easy enough but a professional can do it once a year no pain

[@TB-lv2rh]

Thank you for making this video. I have a reel that is making a knocking sensation when winding with tension & maybe doing this over the winter will help.

[@wendellfishing]

100% I do it to all of my reels during the winter

[@Masterfighterx]

The handle on spinning reels for right handed is usually on the left side, as it comes default. Would feel awkward for me to reel with my right hand and pull the rod with the left. Weird how it flips for Baitcast, Surf and Trolling reels and yet feels natural.

[@jasonlopez4855]

I've used the Lucas oil for years is very impressive stuff for out door's activities. 🧐 One battle in each bag just in case someone might need some good stuff for 🎣 and 🔫 Lucas better than WD-40 for heat and stress areas.

[@wendellfishing]

Thanks for sharing boss!

[@skeymoson]

Nice winter project…I’ll do all my reels like this …thanks 👍

[@wendellfishing]

100%

[@kdgg005]

If I dive into the guts of the reel then I'm taking all the parts out and cleaning them before i put new grease and oil in there. There's also a bearing in the front of the reel where the brass worm drive and spool shaft go through. I use the Lew's brand products and they work well also.

[@kenneth9874]

Lew's uses Lucas oil

[@kdgg005]

@@kenneth9874 you are correct

[@Moondog9322]

Dumb question....is it possible to do this while fishing line is still on the reel? Once you remove the drag and spool, you should be good to go, yes? Great video....very informative! liked and subbed.

[@wendellfishing]

I don't believe you will run into a problem

[@markriederer8896]

Thanks for the great video, I like to use a small paint brush to apply the grease.

[@wendellfishing]

Great idea!

[@leswallis8158]

Use a disposable acid/glue brush

[@barryjones1965]

Have you done a video on the care of a Baitcaster?

[@wendellfishing]

Great question Barry.. I actually have around 8 or 9 videos coming out on baitcasters, management, oil, grease, casting, backlashes, Mag brakes, Centrifugal brakes, Spool tensioners, and when to adjust, etc. They have been fun to make.

[@Ungabunga707]

Do you have any recommendations of grease for older fly reels? I have some old Pridex reels that i need to clean up and reapply grease to but i dont want to use a grease that may react badly with the make of the reel.

[@wendellfishing]

I have never owned a fly reel so I am not going to be of any help here brother

[@Ungabunga707]

@@wendellfishing I respect your honesty. Finding this answer has not been an easy task 😂

[@robertlosasso4222]

Instead of using that screwdriver to apply the grease , I use a Q tip , it works very well, better then metal to metal .

[@leswallis8158]

Plus you get unwanted cotton fibers in your reel

[@TUKByV1]

Cut the end off the swab so you don't get cotton fibers in there.

[@Stoney327]

Hey: Too much grease is as bad as not enough. If you overload the grease, it just attracts dust and dirt. Keep it light. There IS such a thing as TOO much.More is not necessarily better. Thanks for letting me rant.:

[@robertlosasso4222]

I just bout two Penn reels , I oiled them and then looked inside the gear mechanism, they were greased thourghly, surprisingly.

Thank you for this♥️...I have a question ..Can I put some grease on new bought reels? most new reels I bought is a little try on the inside I was wondering if you can add more grease on it.

[@wendellfishing]

Of course.. some come as dry as the Sahara for some reason

[@jaypenha5352]

Can you use Vaseline for this? I used to use it as a kid for reels. I just didn’t know exactly where to apply it until now.

[@wendellfishing]

I wouldn't use vaseline

[@alexanderroccobakke1269]

hello i bought a shimano oil ang grease spray. does the grease spray do the same as the grease u using or should i use something like yours?

[@wendellfishing]

Hey boss, I imagine that the "Grease Spray" sprays like a liquid but congeals like a grease. I have never had my hand on those cans before but as long as you can direction the spray to where you want it to go specifically you should be good to go. Remember, Gears Get Grease... Oil the rest IMO

[@DjGoertz-vd9fz]

Rem oil and graphite grease from Walmart or a parts store. That's if you don't feel like spending extra for a label. They're the "exact" sane 😂😂

Can't you just spray some white lithium grease in there?

[@spaceambientdimensions502]

I heard you say;"if you're right handed you put the handle on the rightside", and that's not accurate with a spinning reel as you always reel with the opposite hand and use your dominant hand to cast and fight.

[@thadude4426]

I’m a barber.. I use the clipper oil.. 🤷🏾‍♂️..

[@wendellfishing]

You got what you got!

[@stevef4304]

I use clipper oil and Vaseline. Vaseline is not too thick and very pure. Also, if it needs lube, it needs cleaning. Take it apart, unless you're a moron.

Does WD40 work?😂

[@wendellfishing]

I wouldn't do it

[@dannythorne9761]

Wd40 isn't a lubericent

[@Khans0120]

WD40 is a degreaser/penetrating oil, not to be used as lubrication for moving parts.

[@TXblaster]

Don't bother taking apart your reel and putting this on it It will mess up and not work right

[@wendellfishing]

Not following your logic brother

[@TXblaster]

The reel body when unscrewing don't pop out and i had to pop out alot of parts. Your reel was more simple

[@antonwebern6128]

Can I use WD40? InUK we use it literally for everything

[@wendellfishing]

I wouldn't....The degreaser in WD-40 will break down the grease and oil, which are necessary for the reel to function properly.
