Spinning Reels and Sal****er

Hello Guy's,
Well, since they have been sitting awhile I would first take them apart
and wipe off with a dry soft cloth , check your parts for any nicks
check gear parts very good should be real smooth, My hubby uses penn
reels open face and he likes that Penn oil you can buy fishing tackle
unlimited has it ask at the back counter if you cannot find it , think
academy has it also. , I have seen my hubby Capt.Bill ,take a 5 gallon
bucket between trips and soak his reels in soapy water nothing added
just soap and water, Left overnight and rinsed really good before his
trip the next morning , his rod and reels are his tools, then uses
again, when he has a couple days break between trips he takes each one
apart and cleans and oils, He made up a small kit to keep up with with
xtra parts handles xtra gears and such for quick access. Not sure
about motor oil I haven't seen that done , I would just go buy the oil
to be safe never seen bill use motor oil on his reel and rods.
Remember if you don't want them to let you down take care of them the
right way ,
Happy fishing
Happy Holidays
Lynn and master captain Bill Curry

I spray the rod and reel down with the garden hose when I come of the beach and then I
shake/tamp off the excess water and wipe with a dry cloth.
