Hi Willie, great to hear Bert is going good. My fingers are crossed for you.
Yay, Gary. Thanks for helping out on this one.
A 100B will evolve in front of our eyes.
Yes, let's try the Zebco why we're at it.
Of course, I don't know of anything that I've put together and was right everytime.
I am an old person and I just want to fling it out and reel it in. Unless I want to toss it out and wait for my bobber.
Great video. Tell all Hi and meow.
Take care and stay safe till next time.
❤❤❤❤❤
I use spincast reels myself and since I was little, it's just as important as using a spinning reel or baitcaster. Spincast reels are effective in many situations in the fishing environment. Spincast reels are an amazing tool when I am in a situation when the fishing is really good catching them almost back to back, and you want to get your bait out there really fast, that's one example where a spincast is effective.I appreciate your channel Willy!
@@ShellcackerFisherman I’ve always been a fan of the under dog and I have a sentiment for a lot of things that remind me of a simpler time but the Spincast reels catch a lot of flack.. honestly it shouldn’t matter to anyone else what reel a person wants to fish with nor should it matter to the user what someone else’s opinion of it is. We’re all out there doing the same thing, trying to catch a fish For ourselves.. I’m not trying to catch a fish for the guy using a baitcasters and the guy using the baitcasters shouldn’t be trying to catch a fish for me..
sadly though, with the introduction of social media, there’s those who feel like their opinions on simple subjects, like what kind of “fishing reel” a person uses, is relevant.. Use what you like, and let’s go fish.. and that’s all I have to say about that.. 😂😉
Thanks for sharing bro .... 5:10
I enjoyed the resurrection, Willie, of a reel from a bag a parts into a usable fishing reel that appears to have turned out kind of nice! I have high hopes and can't wait for the field test. I'm glad that Old Burt is doing well, high hopes there as well! Take care and be safe!
@@christinerogers5331 Hey CJ,
So far Bert is impressing me, just hope it’ll continue on that way..
That reel unfortunately didn’t impress me but I’ve got parts on the way..
So now, it’s a waiting game..
We njoyed the Frankenstein rebuild and next expect that you may come up with a way to make something from absolutely nothing! It's amazing that you built a working reel from just a bag of old parts, even considering the couple of things you had to get from Gary. I know that you will probably enjoy using it and will also find that the Zebco Delta is a pretty good reel. We'll be watching for that episode. Hope you make it soon! Miss Sophia sends her regards. Until next time . . . we'll see y'all later.
@@harryhoward3064 Howdy Howards,
That reel needs a couple gears badly. I’ve already contacted Gary and have them on their way.. it’s a great looking reel and deserves to work correctly.
I’m glad all those pieces are getting a second chance all together.. so about a week from now, I’ll be giving it a fling..
Thanks for watching Harry, tell Sophia Howdy!!
Willie
I'm old love my collection of spincast reel and yup i have baitcasters and spinning and yup collapsible cane poles. yard sales , antique store and even ebay i always have my eyes out looking for old spincasting reels.
There’s something extremely gratifying about using the old equipment.. putting it back out there doing what it was meant to do.. it adds a certain challenge that you can’t get by using the new stuff.. I’ve been thinking very seriously recently about using my cane pole. I just need to find a place that I can actually use it. But it is going to happen very soon. thanks for watching, Willie
I love my kids/old people reels. Common sense reels, they are fun 😀👍🎣
@@garysenter3335 🤠They’re just plain fun!! Sometimes frustrating and finicky but fun..
If that gearset you put in that 100B is a 12/35, you should consider putting in 16/45 gears. I did that on my last 100B rebuild. That made filing down the inside of the sideplate unnessary.
I ran into something similar about gear grinding. I noticed most of the grinding happened when I had sharp gears against smoothed gears. I gently and carefully rounded over the sharp gears. It made a huge difference.
@@calebsmith2131 Out of all the Johnson reels I have, and believe me I have a few, I may only have 3 or 4 century’s and citations together that are really nice reels.. all the other are fairly good or just ok..
but strangely enough, most of my 40th anniversary century’s are extremely good reels.. I’ll definitely pick up any of those I come across.. then again, I usually buy any Johnson Century or citations I come across, lol. 😂
Three-in-One oil isn’t the best choice as a reel lubricant. After the volatiles in it flash off it gets gummy. Been there, done that.
@@ddselvig I need to make a stop at the BPS and pick up something.. I ran out of my norm..
I’ll get more, just stop yelling at me Dan!! Dang!! 😂
I am a childish old person. I need simple and cheap.
@@oldmanoldtruck Other than Zebco, Johnson is about as cheap as it gets, and even more simple to work on.. then again, I’ve torn so many of these things apart, I could very well put one to get her with my eyes closed.. lol 😂
@@TheGraytOutdoors idea for a video. Put one together blindfolded! 😁
I have enjoyed you and your content! LiveAction my Push Button Brother!!! ComeOn
Thanks so much!! As long as my thumbs keep working, I’ll keep flinging a spin cast reel.. I’m “The Fonz, of the spin cast”😂
