Couple things to note here. First if you’re putting oil on sealed bearings that’s not going to do anything. Especially if the bearing seals are doing their job. You can carefully remove the covers once the bearing is removed. Second the main shaft doesn’t need oil

I couldnt figure out how to remove the spool. Now I know how to remove the spool after seing this clip!

Never oil the shaft! That runs down into the anti-reverse bearing. If you get access oil in that bearing, the reel will reel both ways.

Should I oil the shadt or grease it

Anyone know where to get a direct drive handle replacement for fishing reels?

I spray the reel with WD40 and wipe it down . The only time I use water is when I’m done fishing for the day or night . Then I take my garden hose with a spray nozzle on the end and stand the rod and reel up against the house or fence and give it a good spray then leave it dry out , it takes any salt deposits off .

Side note... One of those silicone pistol cleaning mats serves as a great reel servicing mat. I use one with a few parts sections molded into it & some of the sections even have magnets that hold those tiny screws & shims quite well.

Thank you! your tutorials are helpful...Can I ask if I bought a new reel..can I put some grease on it?

Glad we could help! Most likely the reel will come greased up and ready to go. You won't have to maintain it for a while unless it gets dunked or beat up

Is it really a problem to lightly spray reel with hose as I always rinse rod as well ? I know high pressure nozzle is bad.

Wouldn't hurt using on mist or shower lightly but more ideal just too wipe down to avoid corrosion over time, I tend to use metho on reels and rods removes salt well and dries instantly

Is this maintenance only for saltwater reels ??

You never put oil on the shaft it stuffs with your anti reverse. My service and rod builder bloke who was head technician at daiwa told me never do that also daiwa incorporated his ideas into there rods and reels so he must know something. Just do the roller bearing the handle thats it unless your taking your reel apart

Just so you know if you're watching this and wondering, NO, you can't just use WD-40. WD-40 is a DEGREASER, not a lubricant. It's amazing for getting stuck bolts out but that's not because it's lubricating anything, it's because it's penetrating into the bolt threads and breaking down the gunk that's preventing movement. If you used WD-40 on your reel, you need to take it back apart, completely dry everything off, bathe everything in scalding hot, near boiling water and let it sit for an hour, then remove it all and cover it all with real reel oil. You can theoretically use gun oil to lubricate a reel because that's a synthetic silicon based oil in most cases, which is a very robust lubricant, but you're not going to see the same results as something like a mineral oil. And of course, everything changes based on whether you're fishing in salt or fresh water.

Water displacement fluid not degreaser. They sell a wd40 degreaser though

WD-40 is not a degreaser.

​@@kaseyzeltinger2735 The colloquial term you're attempting to nit-pick is irrelevant, the message remains the same: WD-40 is a penetrating solvent for displacing water, it is NOT a lubricant, and it will, in fact, degrease your reel if you tried applying reel grease to it. So while it is commercially not marketed or sold as a "Degreaser," it does perform that function. If this bothers you I don't know what to tell you.

Ok

Every 4-5th time I go kayak fishing in the ocean, like 3+ times a month, I have to completely strip my Penn reels and clean and lube. And I don't dunk them into the ocean. So, I now purchase cheap reels.

That seems excessive. There is no way the reels need to be cleaned and lubed that much. Seems more like a OCD thing.
