Greased Reel

[Gunrunner]

Can to much grease mess up the dog on a penn 6/0
The reason I ask is I just rebuilt one and everything
Seemed fine when I put it back together but now the dog doesn't
Catch all the time I think I may have over greased
The reel can you do that any advice would be helpful
And appreciated thanx

Too much grease could affect the dog catching the gear sleeve ratchet, especially heavy viscosity gease.

Too much grease may be the problem but it well could be that you put the dog in upside down. It's very easy to do with Penn 6/0 reels. I know this from experience...

[alantani]

yeah, sounds like it's flipped upside down.....   

[Gunrunner]

Thanx much for the help never thought of the
Putting the dog in upside down I dint know you
Could do that

Thanx again

I like to keep my dogs free and a bit 'snappy' so I put a drop of light oil on each. It thins the grease and keeps them operating extra free.

The only issues I ever had with my Daiwa SLOH's was the dog hanging because of grease, so no longer get grease near there with any reel.

Same here. Just before sliding the bridge over to button it up I add a drop of oil.

As much as I hate to say this it was rebuilders error
My dog was in upside down pretty much taking all the
Teeth out of his bite after putting it in the right way
It works like a charm again thanx for all the help guys

Sounds like a common mistake. I recall I's puzzled lookin at my 6/0 dog the first time, but had onea Allen's tutorials, which pointed it out as a easy error to make. Easy to forget little diassembly details as ya begin the rebuild, yesterday a line roller ona spinner: 2 bearings, roller, 2 washers & screw, no schematic. Just had to keep rebuildin 'till I got the roller to work best, 'cause the tiny washers looked the same but one was double the thickness, and the placement in the assembly was way diffrent twinxt the 2.

It's the little things that will get you, I pulled a reel apart three times because the pinion would not drop back in place when the lever was thrown.....problem was I had the bridge screws switched and the yoke was hanging up on the fully threaded screws   ....Bill
