Noisy reel help

5 Upvotes

I recently bought this Daiwa legalis 2023 LT4000D-C making this noise and I’m unsure if it’s normal or I need to take it apart and grease/oil it.
The lure I’m throwing in the video is 85g. The noise is quieter with a 50g one and with the 33g is almost gone.
I did buy this reel used. The previous owner said he never used it. He also bought it used. Said he changed his mind and wanted a bigger size right after he bought it.
I have used it in salt water but the noise was there before that.
The reel came with 0.32 braid on, I switched to 0.25 to get some more distance and I think the noise got a little quieter after that.
I’ve never done reel maintenance before but there’s a YouTube video on this exact reel so doing it is no problem.

I tried taking my reel apart to clean it all out after using it in saltwater and now I can’t get the bail back together. Pretty sure this happened to me last time but I can’t remember how I got it back in. Does anyone know what I need to do to get the bail screwed back on the reel? Thanks in advance!

repair Noisy Daiwa Silver Wolf 2022

3 Upvotes

Anyone have advice on what could be going wrong with my 2022 silver wolf? I bought it used for pretty cheap so I’m not mad about it, but I’ve had the reel for maybe 8 months now and it has always had a loud sound on the retrieve that I couldn’t figure out. I will post a video so you can hear. Some of the noise is from the line.

I bought this Penn Battle IV for a song but it doesn't lay any line on the top of the spool, how do I go about fixing this? The picture is for reference after I put a couple yards on and noticed it doesn't wind evenly and it doesn't wind at the top of the spool.

This is the 2nd reel of mine where the little washer thay holds the tension spring for the induction cup to have tension just shattered on me. For the life of me I cant find a replacement or even a replacement spool. Wondering if anyone's had the same experience, and if they found a solution or just bought a different reel/spool

Was curious on how to get this tip off. The circle part broke off on my hellcat rod and I was going to replace the whole tip. But I’m not sure how to get it off. Do I warm up the glue part and pull it off?

tools and maintenance Shimano ML 10 Disassembly - Snap-ring pliers needed

Post image
3 Upvotes

I seek a tool recommendation and am grateful if you can help. The snap ring on this reel has small holes that are partially obstructed. I've been unsuccessful finding snap ring pliers suited for this task. The .047" pegs on the most recent pliers head (Pittsburgh model from Harbor Freight) seemed too large to access/fit the holes pictured.

Can you refer me to a peg size or a specific snap-ring pliers model that is well-suited for freeing reel pinion gears like this?

Or is there another aspect of this situation that I should consider before purchasing more tools?

Thank you

Mitchell 2210 RD Disassembly

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi, All. This is my first post here, and I hope to benefit from a bit of guidance.

I am disassembling a Mitchell 2210 RD with a P300 stamp on the foot of the reel. There is a pin in the axle that prevents the rotor from being removed (image attached).

As far as I can tell, the rotor must be removed to make any further progress. How is this pin best removed? Or is there another approach I must take?

Also, I am unable to locate a schematic for this reel. If anyone can point me to one, I'd be grateful.

Thank you.

Pflueger patriarch

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I was servicing my pfluger patriarch and I seem to be having a problem with the rod that pushes it up and down, every time the reel comes to the bottom of the revolution it is grinding on on the spool I believe because the rod is going too far down. I didn’t touch any of the gears just put bit of grease on there and closed it back up. Any ideas or tips would be great!

repair Bail replacement/fix

Thumbnail

Hey, so I bought this as part of an entire set off EBay. It came snapped. (Seller thinks it happened during shipping and refunded so I can buy reel another of the same kind off eBay. Already done.)
It’s a Daiwa 2505c spinstar-X, is there anyway to fix this bail or where would I order a new bail?

If I can get this one in working condition, I’d love to put it on another pole I have. If it’s a lost cause, at least I have parts for the one coming in.

What is this bar (Abu Garcia Excellence 502)

Post image
1 Upvotes

I am working on servicing my old Abu Garcia Excellence 502 spinning reel. This is from a packaged rod/reel combo (SAP 1128450 Excellence EX502/702M A-01-9-BK). This has been sitting for about 10 gears and I was servicing it to get back to fishing. I noticed this bar while disassembling but cannot figure out where it came from. I think this reel is based on or similar to an Abu Garcia Cardinal 502? Anyone recognize this?
