[@jeffreybabino1411]

Hi I have a Penn 9 m level wind reel what size flat head screwdriver do ii need to use thanks great video

[@backonthebenchreels]

A 1/8 Slotted screwdriver should work fine. Thanks for watching!

[@jeffreybabino1411]

Cool thanks

Thanks for the great information! Do you ever do videos on Diawa's ? I just bought a couple vintage Sealine 47H reels for catfishing & was digging around KZbin for content on them.

[@backonthebenchreels]

Yes, I have some videos on some older Daiwa's. They are on the channel. Thanks for asking!

@@backonthebenchreels Thanks, I looked through the list but must have missed them

[@backonthebenchreels]

@@Yelladog78 Actually now that I have looked at the list myself I only see a Daiwa 7270A video. I am going to post a video sometime this week for a Daiwa A1655T and I also have videos on the 4300A, Millionaire 5HS, and 7150HRL models which I will post soon too. On top of that I have some Ted Williams/Sears trade reels that Daiwa actually manufactured for Sears. I'll be working on those as well. Thanks again for watching!

what size blade was that screwdriver you used on the Mag 10 ? I have been looking for a larger blade in a shorter screwdriver, so I don't butterfly these larger screwh heads on reels

[@backonthebenchreels]

I don't recall off the top of my head but I use an assortment of screwdrivers on all reels. Sometimes one is a better fit over another that is technically the same size in width but may be thinner or thicker. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

the Penn 9 is still available, but is Chinese and no where as good as the US made one

[@backonthebenchreels]

This is true. They don't make them like they use to. Thanks again for watching!
