Title: Brand new reel
Post by: spottybastard on March 18, 2012, 02:55:52 AM
I'm about to invest into two brand new Penn CONQUER 8000 size reels.  I was wondering, besides spooling them up with spectra; what else should I do to them before taking them out for a test drive/trip?

Bump.

I just got the two reels in the mail today.  $169 a piece off of eBay.

Did you figure out how to get to the drag stack?

grease the drag washers and pack the bearings with grease!

Grease drag washers. Repackage bearings with a mixture of Yamaha grease and corrosion x spray. NOt to thick and not to thin
