winterizing reels?

[Coop]

Well, since the season is winding down :( (I havent thrown in the towel yet), I will soon be tearing down my reels and cleaning and lubing them,,,any suggestions on types of lubes and other things I should know about winterizing? This is the first season fishing with quality reels and want them working as good as new come the end of march .

Ahhh.. Good questions, Scott. I have been wondering the same thing lately.

Scott, I would post an email to the manufacturer of those spiffy new reels ya got. They'll know what's best. Since they aren't the "standard" like I use, care and feeding may be a little different.



When all else fails, Penn grease prevails!

I hate to say it, but I think I am going to starting ripping the line off the reels and start tearing them down,,,depressing. :(
