(Abu Garcia 6500c3) REEL TALK, why it’s important to service a reel

For questions look me up on Instagram and @James Gormley on Facebook. Catfishing. Reeltuning. Cleaning Abu Garcia baitcaster

Great video, showing importance of regular maintenance. I check mine regularly after a few sessions etc, i am mechanically minded and been taking reels apart and servicing since i was 12 years old as my Dad was a great teacher. I would encourage anyone to have a go they really are notbthat difficult, i have older vintage reels too, mitchells, Penn's, Dam's and Abu Ambassadeur's and theyre all servicable by anyone in my opinion.

Absolutely. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve made so many of these reel videos is to help people and some of these videos are very step-by-step. I appreciate your comment. Thank you.

[@AnglingSpiders]

So important to maintain your equipment.

[@riverlunacy]

Clean mine every year in February. Abu Garcias will treat you right for multiple decades if you clean them. They are like built like a watch.

[@riverlunacy]

Absolutely. I have some that are around 20 years old and I’m still using them

[@Treelimbfishing]

i need to hit my again soon!

[@riverlunacy]

Well buddy there’s your reminder. Hit me up if you need some help

[@email16v]

What I learned from your video is that (1) you can dog out these reels and (2) they are relatively easy enough to take apart and service for another 100K miles. Not many reels meet this bar. I will continue to buy these reels. Thanks for the video!

[@riverlunacy]

Awesome

[@hookedonbassncats]

Raining here too.

[@riverlunacy]

Yeah buddy cats and dogs coming down

[@hookedonbassncats]

@@riverlunacy I'm glad you make these cause I know spinning Reels like the back of my hand and i use Abu bait casters as well but I don't know the internal Parts as well. And my 5500 isn't casting very well anymore. So your videos give me confidence to break them down and clean and all that. I also take the winter to break down and clean my gear and put new line on if needed. People can learn allot from your videos.

[@riverlunacy]

You know how to find me if you need help. Thank you. I think I got a channel cat video or two before this not sure if you got to see them. I’ll be putting another couple more up here soon. Think I got a channel cat video coming out possibly tonight or tomorrow night. Keep your eyes peeled

[@hookedonbassncats]

@@riverlunacy yeah your the first person I'll always contact when I need reel help. Awesome looking forward to your new video's.

[@hookedonbassncats]

@@riverlunacy about to watch your new video on my lunch break at noon.
