[LaAngler]

i wipe my reel and rod off with a soaking wet towel and then lightly oil the reel every trip

[adamsfence]

[LaAngler]

[Salty]

how often do yall clean yalls reals


Almost Never!!! Once a year if any!!!! Whip down out side with oil sometimes and just oil!!!

[LaAngler]

thats why you have to keep buying new ones all the time

[CatDaddy]

I have an older style Curado thats making noises when i reel. I was gonna take it apart this time i was home but i had to rush to work. any one have any ideas or suggestions before i tear into it? and what might be a few places to send them to, salty, that can fix them if something is messed up. it still casts and reals really well, just makes a grinding noise... i know it aint sand because i already sleaned it out. I think its because the line spool is rubbing against the inner lining of the reel housing, might have a wore out bearing or something... what yall think?

[Xpressboat908]

After I fish I spray them off with water at the car wash when cleaning my boat. Works fine.

There will be a late fee of $10 for every day after Thursday. In other words, if I don't get it until Wednesday of next week.....you'll owe me $50.

[Gerald]

I lightly rinse my reels after every trip.

About every 3 or 4 trips, i take the spool out and clean any dirt / grit with a kleenex or quitip and oil the bearings.

I have not taken the drag assembly off in about 2 years.....may need to do that sometime.

My reel is 6+ years old and still works very smooth.

I used a Citia (Sp) for a few cast last week. It had a little vibration while casting the line out and I did not think it was as smooth as my CU200BSF.

but seriously, whats the deal with the hat?

[huntin fool]

quick queston on the citica reels- if i oil my (idk what its called) the little bar i guess after each trip would that help??

[flounder_smacker]

every reel i have gets washed with the water hose and dawn after saltwater use. from abu winches to penn 80's. once a year i take them home and break them down completely and grease. never have any problems. i use the penn grease. and for the baitcast i use the penn oil. i also replace the bearings in my penns every 5 years even if they are still good.

[adamsfence]

have yall ever used rem oil on your reels i used it last year it worked pretty good

[eman]

he's not high he's just chillin ;)



now no more thread drift.............
If he is takeing oxycodone he is doing more than chillin. He is CHILLAXIN!

pawl and worm gear

[huntin fool]

pawl and worm gear



if i oil those 2 would that be good? i dont like tearing into expensive reels.

[Gerald]

Fool you don't have to be afraid to tearing into expensive reels

Just take the spool out and put a drop of oil on the bearings.

If you see any dirt or grit looking stuff.....clean it with a qtip or old tooth brush. Rubbing alcohol can be used for cleaning if needed.

Cleaning the drag system is a little more involved.....but fairly easy to do. Just be sure that when you take each piece off, you put then back just like they came off. Place the pieces on some paper in order that you take them off.....then just put them back the same way.
