Thank you so much! I just disassembled, cleaned and reassembled my Penn Pursuit III 5000 LE reel successfully. I surf fish and my rod been submerged. I rinse it off with water but I noticed when feeling it was hanging up some. So I watched your video many times, took pictures when breaking reel down and took notes with each step. I have never seen the inside of a reel until now. When I took the cover off I was shocked at the corrosion and sand inside mixed in with the reel grass. I am amazed my reel worked at all. I had to do a thorough cleaning. I used an entire can of WD-40, lots of Q-tips, soaked the rotors in WD-40 overnight. Let them air dry. Then used fine sand paper because there was some pitting of the metal rotors. I was able to smooth them out. Oil and greased everything good. I have to say I had a problem with the drag when I purchased it but didn't know enough about reels to know better. The drag now is loose like it should be when I loosen it. So now I know what to expect. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

Excellent news, Janet! Glad to hear the video helped you get the reel fixed up and you now have confidence in it. Great job of taking notes and pics along the way! I loved your comment on how surprised you were it even worked at all.... this is the norm, so don't feel bad... which is why routine services are good. It's amazing the places sand, grime and salt can end up. Check out my video on how to restore your bearings... you may find it useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnW7Ya1ubp54gaM More vids to come.

I took mine to the beach and the wife must have been trying to dig up hermit crabs with it. So much sand inside you could of made a sand castle. Thanks for the help.

[@TSGReelService]

LOL!!!! That sucks, but is really funny. Thanks for checking out the video. Glad to hear it helped! Only thing left is to try and find a way to keep it out of the sand when it's in your wife's hand. 🙂

I had tried to cleanup a pursuit 6000 last year following this video and things didnt work out, I kept all the parts together. I tried it again today and have a working reel now thanks for this thorough and well explained video. Two things which I had to fix were a rusty jammed AR and a dent in the body misaligning the gears.

Hello Barry, that was interesting, line roller at 14.18 , there was no ball bearing, just a teflon bushing. Hmmmm... I remember, in a reel spinfisher the small pivot arm was broken ( at 12.55 ) . I quickly made a new one out of stainless steel. My wife is still looking for her stainless steel knife. Lmao.🤣🤣🤣😉😉 You did a good job on that reel , it is as good as new now. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🐟🐟🐟😀😀😀

[@TSGReelService]

Lol @ your wife still looking for her knife!!! Crafty use of the knife. I'm not sure why I thought there was a bearing in the line roller, but it won't be the last time I get something wrong. Lol. Thanks Jan!

Nice tutorial. Now I know how disassemble the reel. Now I need a tutorial on how to disassemble a rusted reel. I cannot get the stack on the pinion off. Its only slightly rusted on the inside. This reel is shot but I need the pinion for another reel. Nothing on the pinion budges...Broke the pinion trying to get the last peice off

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching! Don't be misled by "just a little rust". There are a few ways to free the stack, but you've nullified a couple by damaging the pinion. Do a search for "tsg reel service frozen" for more help.

Great video. When i opened mine it was saturated with grease. Just so much grease and gunk. Tnx man

I have the Pursuit III 6000 also. I thought you could use them for either right or left hand by just moving the handle from one side to the other? Mine only lets me reel with my left hand. There are no threads on the other side for the handle to screw into.? Is mine a defect?

[@TSGReelService]

Yes. Sounds correct. Just stick it in and start turning.

[@patrickhershey3134]

Great video! I serviced my reel and it runs smoothly until you put the handle on and then you get a grinding noise. Any ideas?

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for checking out the video. Yes, the gears are too smooshed together. Play with the shims on your main gear.

[@patrickhershey3134]

@@TSGReelService It was the shims. Now, it runs super smooth. Thank you!

[@TSGReelService]

@@patrickhershey3134 excellent! Happy to hear we got it resolved! Enjoy the reel!!!

I’m having an issue with my bail closing mid cast and breaking off some very expensive lures. What’s the best way to keep the bail from closing automatically?

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching. What reel is it? Is the bail damaged? How long have you had the reel and did you always have that issue with it?

[@blizzington4528]

@@TSGReelService sorry I’m getting back so late. The reel is brand new I’ve only took it out maybe 3-4 times max because 2 of those times I lost lures from the bail closing. My first time it was working wonderfully. But it shouldn’t have damage at all.

[@hahanoob1699]

You can also clean the anti-reverse nut with WD-40 and remove the rust on the inside and it probably work again.

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching and your input. Yes, but it's only a temporary fix. See my recent BG 4000 video for a discussion on this specific issue. Spread the word about the channel. More vids to come.

Can I use any grease like bearing grease.for drag washer touch up?

Thanks for watching! I wouldn't.

Check eBay.

What kind of grease do you use?

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching. I use Penn blue grease most of the time.

[@emtae3]

Is there a rebuild kit that Penn sells?

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for checking out the video. What are you looking to rebuild?

[@emtae3]

@TSGReelService this same reel. Someone has it for sale for parts. Was thinking about buying it and maybe rebuilding if possible?

[@TSGReelService]

@@emtae3 Sure, you could buy it and rebuild it.... you can use mysticparts to source the parts you need to replace after examining it. All the best with it.

[@B_smokin187]

You got any videos on removing the bail trip for the penn pursuit 3?. Or any tips to "cast around it" I can't get a decent cast to save my life with the trip on.

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for checking out the video! Yes, you can file down the trip ramp on the housing..... this might help, but may not completely eliminate the problem. You can also try replacing the bail spring.

[@B_smokin187]

@@TSGReelService is there any way to completely eliminate the issue or are those my best options. Great videos by the way. I appreciate the knowledge.
