cleaning your reels

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ben Thomson:
silicone spray! it does eveything that you need.

Chris Webster:
I tighten up the drags, give a quick rinse with fresh cold water, spray some salt away, leave it for a minute or 5 then wipe off with a clean dry towel.
I also take the spools off and wipe the inside (not the shaft or greasable parts - is that a word??? greasabe?you know what i mean).
Have always dont this with all of my good reals and have never had an issue.

John Sykes:
Hi All,
   Tighten up the drags, rinse with fresh water at low pressure and shake of the excess.  Leave to dry and then spray with lubricant of choice, Ballistol is excellent in my opinion.  I have switched to it from Inox and can't praise it enough, the bonus being that Ballistol is an excellent bearing lubricant as well. Wipe of the excess and last but not least don't forget to loosen the drag back off! ;)
Cheers,
   John.

Graham Blackmore:
People have said "spray" with their favourite lubricant ... is this just a general spray or on moving parts and screws etc?

Andrew Poulos:
I rinse with water lightly, dry, then use inox or lanox on my reels. Never had any issue with the reels.
