Fishing 🎣 15. My Fishing Hobby. (The Recon Reel)

Few month back i manage to get a lot of damage fishing reel from Sunday market in Seremban, i bought it cheap all together until today i buy for only RM18. Some of the damage in drive gear, bail lever, body, Some cap,Bearing,Rotor and etc. Look at the damage reel most if it is lack of maintenance. some i found sand inside the gear or using car grease to lubricate moving parts.

All the recon reel some i repaint and total 100% services. The damage parts i replaces from other reel. Some without bearing only using bushing, i add in bearing or some parts i buy in Tackle shop.

One of the most important to have long life reel is a proper maintenance after use especially after fishing in sea water. The salt water will effect the body and the bearing. Must use proper lubricant.

The Bail Arm, Bail Lever, Pinion, Axle, Drive Gear
