My grandfather got my dad these two Daiwa BG13’s in the 80’s to get him started. I found them in the basement on broken rods and decided to give them a deep clean :) he’s happy to have them working again
Not a single broken part except for a slightly bent bail kick lever, which only took a couple seconds to bend back. Gotta love BG build quality!
This was my first reel maintenance ever, I used corrosion-x, reel-x, and daiwa grease.

Thanks! The outsides looked pretty alright before, but the black sandy gunk that coated the insides was wild

Did you use any tutorials? I’m always worried I’ll mess mine up when I deep clean them

I used the parts diagram and took pictures while disassembling, as well as a video of a man disassembling a very similar BG90

Very nice. I love that daiwa still makes the BG and has even updated it. Slap some carbon drags in there and youll be good for a long time

Only problems with ours are bail springs going out! One set of bearings in 20 years too. Great saltwater reels!
