Hi Dennis - - - One thing about this fishing reel that strikes me to say the cranking handle don't seem to fit the reel I could be wrong but to me it's kind of too big, once you opened it there sure was a lot of old gummy grease - but as you did a complete service it's working nicely - good video .

That handle was a replacement leverage handle. The ones shipped with the reel are more in proportion. Thanks

Nice Dennis. I actually like working on lever drags. That old international 30 is still kicking my butt. It may be coming your way if I can't get it right for trolling this summer.

Thanks for the note - Dennis

Love your vids, been watching for some time. Was curious if you have ever done a video on the Penn Fathom 25NLD2 reel. Seems like this one is pretty popular in my area and was curious. Thank you for all your helpful tips and breakdowns. I really appreciate the ones you did on Avets.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I haven't done that one. I did one on the Fathom 15LD, but that is a single speed reel. You can watch that here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHjPn2ycbL56b9k Thanks for asking Dennis

[@ultrakai1]

Thanks, you make it clear how it is done.

YW - thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis

Plus these little reels have crazy drag so with the strength of braid they have to be built like tanks makes companies use quality components throughout no weak links

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks - well said

[@KRAZYKEV64]

have you got a video for the 2 speed version. i clean drag washers with lighter fuel. my 2 speed has a mag brake conversion

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I do not have that video. Thanks for asking - Dennis

Judging by color and your comment about sticky grease, I'd guess that's marine axle grease.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I do think it was some kind of axle grease - Thanks Ward
