how often
 

how often do yall clean yalls reals

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

you break it down everytime

nope, not if it hasn't taken a lot of spray or been dunked.....

I just send 'em back. :smokin:

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

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

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?

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

I might do that to my wife but NEVER MY REELS!

:)I reckon so.

?
 

they got salty on hydrocodone ?? :*****:

oxycodine:*****::*****:

nope. it says oxycodone on the label. :)

Salty dont get hooked on that stuff. that some addicting stuff.:spineyes::spineyes:

My Shimano dealer told me that is the one thing you dont want to do!!! said it pushes saltwater in your reels!!!

Bruce...I dont buy no new reels every year!!! I still have some 3 years old!! :D
