Penn SpinFisher V 7500 Saltwater spin fishing reel how to take apart and service

[@barneyewing2664]

I sent my Spinfisher V 4500 in to Penn for service. The reel came back so packed full of grease you could barely turn the handle. Then I started watching your videos.

Penn tends to put a lot of grease in the reels. It won't hurt if you service the reel frequently. If it stays there too long and dries up, it does become a problem. Thanks for watching - Dennis

Thanks for watching! Best wishes - Dennis

@@2ndChanceTackle Some parts of my Penn fishing reel were broken. I made and installed these parts myself. The problem was, not enough grease. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very nice reel! Thanks Dennis!

[@2ndChanceTackle]

This one is nice. It belongs to a first responder and I was happy to work on it for him. Best wishes Nick - Dennis

I wonder what the reason is, for the single drag washer on the top of the spool,when the Slammer drag is underneath? Keep up the great work and stay safe. 🎣

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I don't know. Maybe is is a better way to hold the drag adjuster knob in place

[@christopherjenkins2373]

I like these reels even though they are made in China but there are a few things I just don’t understand. Why would you put screws inside os a gasket meant to seal the reel? It doesn’t make sense to me. I applaud the attempt to mate the reel more sealed. From what I have read the attempt at sealing where the handle is attached doesn’t work very well either. I get nervous when a reel has this many parts. You make it look so easy. Obviously this is a far cry from a 706Z. It is a shame the bearing and pinion etc. are not as protected as the body and the drag. I imagine this is a nice reel if you take care of it. Great video Dennis!

Nice reel Dennis.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

It sure is! The SpinFisher series is still well made and worth the price. Stay safe Michael - Dennis

Hi.. Spinfisher 8500 live liner or standard 9500 is better to buy

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Depends what you are fishing for and how you fish. If you are live lining or drifting chunks, then the bait feeder may be better. I prefer the standard. Less moving parts is a better formula for less things to break. - Dennis

I can't find any video of the Penn long cast disassembly at all.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Which model are you referring to? There are several that are not sold in the US like the Powerspin and the Surfblaster and I would not see those in my shop. Let me know which one you are asking me about and I will try to find a similar one if not the one you have. Thanks - Dennis

[@godfammusic]

@@2ndChanceTackle it's the Penn 7500 LC spin fisher.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thank you. I have not done a video on that one and as you can see, I was not aware of it until you asked. That is a different set up than the regular V 7500 so you can't use that as a reference. I will add this to my request list and do a video should a customer bring one in. Thanks again for asking - Dennis

[@godfammusic]

Ok, thanks!

[@marvinyuman2508]

I looking for rotor I have one exactly the same but my is'it broken where can I find the part roter V 7500

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Mysticparts.com carries the replacement Penn Parts. Start there - Dennis

[@christiansethi938]

Hey, does this reel have a pretty high minimum drag? I was just servicing one and when I reassembled the drag, even when the drag cap is off, it takes a fair amount of pressure to turn the drag, was just wondering if that was how it was meant to be

[@2ndChanceTackle]

You should be able to turn the spool without a lot of effort. Maybe the new washers are just a little tight and will seat once fishing - Dennis

[@madmiles89]

Would this take apart and service be the same for the 7500lc version?

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Yes - similar process and steps. The top end is different, but the core mechanics are the same - thanks - Dennis
