Reel Maintenance.
Hi All,
Just wondering what we all do? There are lots of do & donts that you hear about, what I'm asking is what we do after every salty fish. I basically tighten the drags and give them a hosing(light) or shower with them. Is this sufficient or recommended? Some of my reels have a draiage vent for washing and some dont but all get low pressure water treatment for the aove mentioned methods. I currently dont use any lubricants, which is better for external protection Lannox or Innox. thanks in advance

yer mate give em a spray off with water with locked drags, then take spool off reel let dry overnite, then put back on, leave loose, evry 4 or 5 sesions i like to give em a hit of lanox to all moving parts then wipe off any excess. Every 6 months i take em into tackle world to get the profesional service.
hopw this helps mate

At the shop we always recommend a very light spray down with a shower or a hose on the "mist setting" with your drag tight. You jst want to get the salt off, then oil the extrenal moving parts like line rollers, handles and the bearings either side of the main gear (maybe every few trips for the last one).
A spray with some tackle guard never hurts either. More major stuff should be left to someone who knows what they're doing. It's not essential to open up reels often, I only do it when my reels start feeling a little dry, and thats just replacing the grease on the main gear. I've never stripped a reel completely, but if u decide to make sure you lay out the parts in the order you took them out - makes it easy to work backwards.

When i wash the reel, i like to leave it outside for a few hours or longer, it really helps the reel dry, and gives the reel a better clean.
