Penn Pursuit II 4000 -- Service and Lubrication -- Young Martin's Reels

[@mhfishing417]

Great video. Helped me solve my anti braking issue and tune up my reel at the same time.

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Good looking reel Rick.

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Never seen a reel with so many different bearings Rick.

[@youngmartinsreels5314]

This is actually a pretty low bearing count when compared to some modern reels.

I use Armorall, 0n my handles it cleans and protects plastics against UV ray damage. I think you will like how it works on handle gripes.

[@youngmartinsreels5314]

Bill, I haven’t bought any ArmorAll in years. The last time I used it I put it on the floor mats in my truck. Then it got on the bottom of my shoes and I nearly broke my neck. For handles it might work just fine. Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to give it a try.

[@barneyewing2664]

I'd be interested to hear what you think of Superlube versus Penn grease

[@youngmartinsreels5314]

Barney, so far I think it’s a little watery for my taste. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Lol!!! Gotta put the rotor assembly before the shaft.

[@youngmartinsreels5314]

Yep, that the way you do it.😊

No override - I don’t like it. You did an amazing job however. If it only had an override it would be a decent reel. I think these manufacturers did away with overrides because it was convenient for them not the consumer. There’s another reason I prefer vintage spinning reels. I don’t like manufacturers trying to con me by saying leaving out a feature like an override was better for me when I was only done to be convenient and more profitable for them. To me that is just plain dishonest!!! By the way, I always oil those side plate screw holes when I reassemble a reel. Great video Rick! We missed you. - Chris

[@youngmartinsreels5314]

Chris, like I told you on the phone, I like the reel even without the override. I was sure you wouldn’t like it though do to the way you fish. From my boat, I don’t really need the override. You tend to favor complex reels and I’m more into simplicity. The fewer moving parts the less parts to go bad.

[@rufusmedrano2962]

If the bearings are pitted that’s probably why it’s noisy.

[@wilbertbenjamin9928]

Not the right barring for the reel the back barring it to wide that is why the washer in the front Bines it up
