I don't know what is with your reels but I have three of them for more
than 20 years now. I am thinking about changing the rods they are on
for new ones. I have fished exclusively in salt water all these years
and did nothing but hose them off when I got to a fresh water
location. every 7-8 years I had them serviced but basically I haven't
had a minutes problem with them. I also have some Shimano reels that
are excellent and also some heavy duty Penn reels that are great.

I have a bunch of rods with Daiwa BG spinning reels on them. These
reels have been a big disappointment. They corrode very quickly, and
the bail screws pop out if you don't watch them.

I'm going to replace them. Can anyone recommend a better reel? I
was thinking of the standard Penn spinners.

Also, I would appreciate any tips people have on preventing
corrosion. What steps do you take after fishing, apart from a
freshwater rinse?




I spray my reels off withy WD40 occasionally and that seems to help with
corrosion
