Re: Washing reels
Lets look at this in a diffrent way. We've all been out when its blowing & it's snotty we're all in the cabin and the poles & reels are out there getting drowned by spray & waves coming over the bow and you think that your living a sceen from deadlist catch. I think there is a lot more salt water getting into the reels this way than than by washing them. Fresh water would help at the very least dilute the salty water in the reels making it less corrosive. That is why I wash my poles & reels after every trip with liquid laundry detergent/water mix & risne with fresh water.
I do my own maintaince & repairs and have only had to replace 1 bearing in a spinning reel in 10 years. For you guys that take your poles & reels in the shower with you, I would perfer a young blond & my wife to be out of town at the time. LOL
