Many of today's reels feature sealed drag systems, precisely machined components, and anodized finishes. While these features will help your reel last longer, you still need to use a few simple steps to extend your reel's life.
Keep it Clean
Avoid placing your reel on sand or dirt. If small granules weasel their way into the reel housing, you should immediately open the reel and rinse with water to remove the particle. Many times, the smallest speck will create the most damage.
Storage
Finally, you should never store your reel for extended periods of time with the drag set on a tight setting. Tight drag settings can eventually cause your drag to warp. Before storing your reel for the winter, you should open the reel and clean with a gentle soap and soft brush. Follow your manufacturer’s suggestion if your reel requires occasional applications of oil or grease.
