How To Keep Your Spinning Reel Like New With No Tools

 What I'm going to show you is probably the easiest and most effective way to extend the life of any spinning reel in your arsenal, Reel that has an automatic bail and when I say automatic bail for those who don't know, it’s a feature on the vast majority of spinning reels that when you make a cast and you're about to start your retrieve all you do is turn the handle and the bail automatically snaps closed.

As you know usually the larger saltwater reels are all manual bail but the vast majority of five hundred to four or five or six until 12 thousand side spinning reels have that automatic bail feature.  In the past I have brought this up on some of the bigger Internet fishing message boards and I was actually kind of surprised at the pushback and the disbelief and what I'm going to show you and while I don't know what their personal experiences with working on spinning reels and working on reels I can say all you have to do to increase the longevity of the like new performance of your spinning or just its performance and durability and longevity, in general, is to manually close the bail do not turn the handle to close the bail.

However nobody ever really tells you is how much pressure and how much stress that puts on the pinion and the main gear importantly if you have any fishing buddies share this with them let them know to clue them on it,  because the last thing you want is to have one of your fishing buddies real go down and then you can't go out fishing with you plain and simple,  and this is an excellent way that doesn't require any tools to extend the longevity of your reel, I just want to give you an idea for everybody to let you know where we're at on this we're going to go up inside I'm going to be focusing on how the pinion and main gear interact.

Watch the video please:

More excessive wear throughout the main gear, so that is exactly how closing the Bail with the handle, this causes excessive wear and damage to your reel and if you're anything like me and every single fishermen have ever met my entire life you make more casts in an outing than fish you catch so every single cast every single time you crank that handle to turn that or to trip that Bail you're essentially doing more damage to the real than what the fish is doing when you Ram a hook set on 50 pound braid on a spinning reel and that facets deep into cover you're not doing any damage to the main gear you're not doing anything there's no impact at all to the opinion in the main gear which is all being absorbed by the anti reverse clutch that's buried underneath the rotor so when you're retrieving against a fish or you're fighting a fish most of us is if you're fighting the fish properly you're not necessarily winching that fish in your lifting with the rod gaining line and then reeling down and repeat so you're really not reeling against heavy pressure.
