Fishing Reel Servicing - Daiwa Sl30sh

Here is show how I service my Daiwa Sl30sh multiplier reel. Most multiplier reels are very similar, so this basic method can be adapted to service many other makes and models. I hope this helps.

Very nice demo of how it should be done and a great video for young starting angling. Look after your tools (in any trade) and they will look after you, as they say. It's amazing though, just how many designs of the same style of reels there are. The drag on that reel is completely different from an abu 7000. In the abu, there are 4 rollers which are interchangeable with different diameters which can be adjusted for casting, Then there is one single gnarled nut on the side which when tightened, gives the spool speed. By compressing the axle of the spool. On these reels, it is necessary to put oil ONTO the small metal friction plates at the ends. The compression is what slows the spool speed for casting ( not drag ) and is numbered for easier settings once you have dialled in your initial setting. Of course, the downside to this design is that the wear on the spool spindle is worn quicker than some because the ends ( which start off conical shaped ) become flattened against the small metal friction plate.and become really unusable for casting. So after a few years, maybe less, if not oiled, the wear on your spool will be terminal and a new one will be needed. The life of the spool can be extended by oiling correctly on the ABU 7000 and on all reels come to that. They are all different, with clever designs, but none of that matters if they are neglected.Far easier to simply throw your money away and start a scrap business for dead fishing reels.
I've had my ABU 7000 for about 50ish years and still use it. It's like an old friend and old friends should be looked after and treasured.This video was far better than you might think to a young angler who really wants to get into the sport..It might encourage a greater depth of understanding of their future treasured reels. Tight Lines to all and have a very happy time with your reels. Regards.

Cracking video John, I was doing a little research before filming one myself but you’ve got it covered. 👍🏻

Perfect timing! I have (3) 15+ year old reels I found in the garage a week ago

easy to follow thanks John, going to replace those fabric washers with Carbontex Drag Washer Kit.

[tomfox]

as if i've just found out you have another channel! Hope you're well, your videos are brilliant!

[scottishwildfowler]

You should ideally be lubricating your drag washers with a Reel Drag Grease. This stops the drag washers sticking together, which reduces the performance of your drags.

Just a thought you should consider when doing your reel services

[wisherweet]

I heard a tip from an Aussie that works for Shimano servicing reels...warm climate places always use grease over oil

[davidb.]

Why pay to have a reel serviced when you can follow a Fish Locker video and do it yourself. Well made video and simply explained thanks for posting.

[cristisst]

quick question: is it a particular reason why you don't install the breaks on it? I've seen when you dismantled that they're missing

[mannyg]

John, what type of pole would you recommend using with the SL20SH reel? length, eyelets guides size? I want to be able to cast without too much back lash. Thanks.

[CodWalloper]

Why go to all that bother and do nothing with the bearings? They should be cleaned and oiled not washed out in a bowl of warm soapy water. Also drag washers need a bit grease to waterproof them!

[Gusrover]

Hi John. Love your channel mate. Just wanted to ask you, have you ever converted the slosh to mag brakes and if so your thoughts on it versus keeping the clicker

[danieloneill]

Wee buns my a££
I’ve messed up some reels in my time.
