Rusty Spinning Reel Restoration

[@mrmidnight32]

$100 repair work for a $20 reel 🤣 Amazing work either way! I’ve wanted to do this to so many reels but realized the value isn’t worth the effort and supplies.

[@shotbyarian]

that has got to be more than 100 usd!

[@amazingadventures510]

309$

[@theblessedhope-ns3hs]

Reel is worth -20$

[@jimmywilson1388]

There was a few times, I was like noooo what is he doing…🫣😄 But I have to say you did a good job! I think it could still use some oil on the bearings and the spool shaft but overall it turned out nice. Good job 👍🏼

[@Goran2551]

Excellent workmanship….a rare skill ….a fantastic finish ….well done ….

[@yhuang9]

I highly doubt this gentleman is the engineer who design the product. few smart people may deassemble all parts but no one can't reassemble it back. amazing work. really admire you. you have all my respect.

[@VickiAnkney]

Well there is a few of us that can still strip it to the bones over haul it [repair it for you new generation guys] and reassemble with fresh lubricant and it works as good as new. When you've been doing it from 1965 you learn the in and outs of all reels quickly. Parts now that is a whole new subject,. I've enjoyed it all these years and there is nothing any more rewarding than bringing a old reel back to life and I'm still doing it today. Same thing with a old fishing rod striping all the guides off and rewinding with new and a lot better quality guides just gives that old boy some character and brings back memories of all of those fish that were caught in the past.Tight lines to all.

[@nfgassmann8518]

Your video was hypnotizing. From the comments I know your skill is appreciated by people around the world. I'm sure it was built up over a lifetime. Lathing that axel... Wow! Well done!

[@scdeville]

Wow haven't seen these in years. Entry level Olympic reel, mid to late 80's. Only one ball bearing. The head is not original. Not a good choice to go fishing but it would look nice as a vintage themed room.

[@megastick9324]

We fished with a stick and string, so this is doable…

[@starjump89]

[@paulc.1535]

Agree....one bearing doesn't make for smooth casting and reeling.

[@misternasty2216]

It would work just fine as a legit reel for fishing

[@kailashchandraparida9343]

[@damiencook3423]

Is it worth doing this? As in the time etc? Where i live the bays are super salty and the inside of reels look WAY worse than that. The hex circlip you pulled up, i've had them rust through in 2-3 years and even the centre shaft rusted beyond saving even with a wire wheel

[@georgebrown8312]

Good job on restoring that fishing reel to working order, and it looks much better too. Excellent work.

[@ysgginting5118]

The way the reel works is very unique and different from modern reels

[@juanpindonga405]

yep, the oscilating system looks original: an excentrical shape directly embeded in the outside of main gear and a slave outer round shaped piece wich forces the oscilation, clever and simple. I saw many spinning reels get out oif duty by a fail in the oscilating system. A worm and thoot system is considered the best solution (specially in longcasting reels) but its higly expensive.This solution look very smart.

[@robertrichartz9520]

Nice work but,its alot of effort for low quality reel . I would not really spend time on that . If your really into it though , i would say have at it . For me it would have to be a Penn 704 reel or something similar to put in that kind of effort . That reminds me I have to get going on my Penn 704 rebuild hahaha .

[@robertlosasso4222]

That’s what I meant , you didn’t have to do all that work . I redune one exactly like it like I stated in my comment ten years ago and I still use it occasionally.

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Wow, this was really awesome! I have an old Southbend reel that I want to try to restore. I've never done any kind of restoration, but since this was my very first saltwater reel, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@garymucher4082]

I think refurbishing reels would be a great opportunity to powder coat a lot of parts. That would make then impervious to rust and peeling and be able to work a lot longer without as much servicing them. However, you really did a great refurbishing of this reel... Thumbs Up!

[@mbontekoe3358]

Most are aluminium so rust is not an issue

Looks great, nice job..i wish i still had my Olympic reel

[@matthewmercer2477]

Nice job. I have repaired dozens of reels, I got satisfaction doing so. How ever at 60 yrs old I am glad to say there are better alternatives to repairing, throw the damn things out ! For $100 you can buy a new Daiwa BG or an Okuma (which is cheap and easy to repair). I have no less than 60 reels and a bucket w another 10 that repairs did not restore to new condition. And if your a fresh water fisherman you can buy $50 reels that should last years, in SW Florida it's all salt for me.

[@Diegolasca.84]

Have you ever used the Olympics reel. It's not going to break when you have a good fish. I will work for another 30 or 40 years . Goofy

[@michaeldaruwalla8717]

Excellent job, thanks for running us through the steps to referbish a fishing reel. Perhaps a mat finish paint on the spool may be considered.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Yea, too bad we have no clue what so ever what the liquids and concoctions were. Sure could of used some more information.

[@trevorroberts-o7q]

@@ItAintMeBabe99Yes I was also thinking that and wondering whether they're toxic or not and where you could buy them. ( NOT because of that !)

[@Sharpless2]

​@@ItAintMeBabe99degreaser, rust remover, and the other one was written in the video. If you want to do things like this, at least the basic knowledge should be there already.

[@5phutsangtao-iQ]

I have such a fishing reel and it has not been restored yet👍💖

[@samuelgarciaaguiar8570]

Perfect restoring...awesome...😉👍

[@josephwiercinski3845]

I have done restorations for years . the ones I get are ones from people who come to me can you restore this it is the one I got when my dad took me fishing or its my dads reel and means alot to me. Thatis what I like about doing them. the jpy you see when they pick them up worth more then the money. Why do we restore cars .? I have even bought and restored and given then away to young kids who had no one to teach them how to fish. Try it sometime a lot of fun, Great video

[@bendredge6947]

Nice job. I can never remember where all the pieces go.😂

Nice, except you should wind a lot of thicker line underneath the nylon line. 100 meters of nylon is more than enough. But restored very well!

[@igorkhristich8456]

Which kind of grease/oil do you use for ball bearings pls? Is the passivator applicable for chrome covered parts? Thank you.

[@mr.medesh282]

Это бесподобно. Восхитительное мастерство.

[@Gleb_Gri]

согласен

[@DushaDoneckiy]

Вопрос только: зачем тратить средства и время на это(не считая зарабатывания на ютубе)? Ведь ловить таким сегодня просто невозможно - это же жуть, а не катушка. И как по мне, она даже сильнее стала шуметь после реставрации)

[@valshu7644]

@@DushaDoneckiy однозначно. Анахронизм какой-то. Плюс полное отсутствие смазки в важных узлах - залог недолгой и плохой работы. Резюмирую - отстой.

[@gufiangler1760]

Nice job. It's always a satisfaction, when one manages to restore an old reel. Since I also like to work on old reels, I have a few questions. Hope you don't mind answering. What stuff did you use to clean the parts (7:10)? In what kind of liquid did you soak the parts after sand blasting them and why (8:40)? What kind of paint did you use (9:40)? And why two kinds of paints for the shiny parts (11:50)?

[@Frimouss57]

Joli travail 😉👍

[@ziegfredpalmos8569]

I've had same like that but it's stock up I can't take out the spool due to rust it's a vintage one...

seems to be spooling a little bit high. add another washer and you should be all set. you won't get to the very bottom of the oscillation, you'll be one washer higher.

[@WisGuy4]

I got a free vintage Quantum reel thrown in with the eBay purchase of another reel and the free one is almost as old and is in similar condition to the one in this video. I have this video saved in my Watch Later list, so that I could restore the old Quantum. After watching this video, I realized I do not own the $3000+ in tools and equipment used in this video, nor do I have 30 spare hours available, to turn a two dollar reel into one that is about half as good as one I can buy off Amazon for $18 new (a 4000-sized Quantum Optic is $17.64 and is decent quality). I just threw my old Quantum in the garbage.
