ddigit Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I need some info on cleaning reels. Like should i take them apart and add some oil or what should i do in the winter months to get them to stay smooth and keep them clean? What kind of oil works best? Anyone have any pics showing things to do? ya i have someone that will show me that is no problem. Guess that covers your question then. Good Luck.. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 27, 2008 Super User Posted October 27, 2008 so bass brat no one ever showed you how to do anything you just picked it up with out any help. I 'm sorry you took it personally. Have fun learning and I won't bother you any more. Quote
Super User MickD Posted October 29, 2008 Super User Posted October 29, 2008 Since I was a kid I took my reels apart and oiled/greased them every fall, but now I don't lube anything that requires the reels to be disassembled. I'm really not dumber now (honest, doubters), but reels have gotten so darned complicated that I just don't trust myself to do it right any more. I lube what I can easily reach, and leave the rest to the professional reel servicers. As mentioned previously in this string of messages, Reelmech can be trusted. I used hot sauce, but the containers for the oil leak like crazy and the oil seems to disappear fast in the reels. I'm trying reel butter now, and it seems better, but too early to tell. Quote

Have you been through the course? Actually I trained Dan (ddigit), he has been training and working with me for 5 years now, and I have been doing it for 25+ years.... I see in the other forum you are in need of the engagement pin tool, I made mine in a couple of minuets .. I'm real surprised that Killer or Connie didn't mention the pin pliers in the video, I do in my table top reference guide.. Tight Lines!!! Quote
late4lake Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Great website you have. I wish you were closer, I would love to take a look at your shop. I tried to send you a PM but no luck. What is the story behind you guys calling Tommy killer? They are great people & will be spending some time with them real soon. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted October 31, 2008 Super User Posted October 31, 2008 Shops not that big. Got tired of paying over head, gutted my garage and rebuilt it into my rod building and reel service shop in 03, ddigit helped and in lew of payment settled on training...... I tried to send you a PM but no luck.What is the story behind you guys calling Tommy killer? Picked up on the Killer tag on another forum. Every time Connie would post anything she would call Tommy Killer that's it. Fixed PM settings! 8-) Apologies to the original poster for high jacking his thread... Tight Lines All!! Quote
