How to care for your Shimano reel

[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.
