Tips for Maintaining Your Fishing Reels
- Rinse Gently After Every Trip: Mist your reels with fresh water while the drag is fully tightened to prevent water intrusion, and let them dry completely before storage.
- Service Bearings Regularly: Apply a single drop of precision reel oil to spool bearings and line rollers periodically, and grease main gears annually or after heavy saltwater seasons.
- Use Covers During Transport: Keep neoprene covers on your reels while trailering your boat or driving to the beach to shield them from highway grime and damaging rod-rack vibrations.
