Heath’s Tips for Reel Maintenance

Always carry our a visual check prior to Carrying out Maintenance on your reel.

Before Cleaning always tighten up drags

Only ever use a a light spray of water to clean your reels after use  (soapy water can also be used)

Oil Bearings after each use

* spinning reals , take particular care of line roller bearing

* Overheads take particular care of spool bearing

Regular serving!!!! .. if the reel is to be used 3 to 4 times a month , then service every 6 months.  However if reel is only used once a month then once a year servicing is recommended.

***IF YOUR UNSURE DO NOT DISMANTLE YOUR REEL!!!!!***
