Why reel maintenance is important

A reel takes a lot of abuse. Sand, water, mud, pressure on gears and drag discs — it all comes with the territory.

Even the most expensive reels need maintenance.

During a professional service, the reel is:

• Fully taken apart

• Thoroughly cleaned

• Re-greased and oiled

• Checked for wear

• Tested for smooth operation

This keeps your reel running as it should.
