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.

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