SHIMANO SLX - Take Apart & Tune Up - Fishing Reel Maintenance

In this video I take apart and show how to perform reel maintenance on a Shimano SLX 151XG baitcasting reel. Step by step I run through the fishing reel and explain everything I like to do to get the reel tuned up and running at peak performance.

How do you remove the knobs to oil the bearings inside? I have 2 brand new ones and they feel sluggish when reeling slow

[@WhereWeWild]

On the handle? They don’t have bearings in them on this reel, just bushings. I just drop a little oil where the knobs meet the handle for the heck of it, helps a little. I guess you can pop the caps off them also and unscrew them to take them off and make sure there is no sand or anything in them, you could probably even find replacement bearings to replace the bushings if you really wanted to or buy an aftermarket handle like a gomexus that has bearings in the knobs already. 🤙🏽

@@WhereWeWild Thanks for the reply!! Yes I popped off the caps and it was slobbered with grease! Surprised it left the factory like that. Wiped it clean and added a small dab of oil and feels way better! Thanks!
