| Reasonably priced reels that are good, dependable, and consistent are the penn silverado 4000 series or the phlueger trion but if you want a reel that will last you a life time and you know the art of baitcasting than get you an abu garcia. When i come back from a saltwater trip what i do is just basically rinse my rod and reel down than after that ill dip it in freshwater for like 2 minutes and just play with it and let it dry. If you dont have a saltwater ready reel and one day you go out to the saltwater and all you do is rinse it down after the trip and than the next day your reel is hard and stiff and you cant turn the crank, Dont get scarred its just minnor corosion... What you wanna do is just dip your whole reel in a 5 gallon tank or in your sink(whatever is freshwater) dip in the and leave it there for like 2 hours but change the water every our. when you take it out you'll see that your reel isnt stiff anymore and you can turn the crank with no problem. Get your self some reel Lube (I use Quantim hot sauce) and lube it around every 4 months or so... you do not need to take the reel apart just lube the crank, the drag, the main shaft, and so on. i used to work at a bait shop and we did rod and reel repair and we always had customers with similar problems.

| | Well,I was doing one of my old turds,and took some pic`s to kinda show ya how easy it is. A Camera will help ya get through your first,just take a pic for everything you take off,so you can go back and look where everything was I start with the Tear-Down........I lay down a Towel,clean as I take apart,lay out Clean Parts like they came off the Reel........ 
I use Trans Prep.....it`s a Blue Lube the Trany Builder`s use,so I know it`ll work in a Reel 
And what would an A/C Tech use for oil.......Pag 150 {Compresser Oil } 
Lube Gears,Oil Bearings as you put it back together,fall back on your pics if you need to  
Hope this helps some

| Great tutorial of rebuilding a reel, next brakes and then a tranny overhaul. I think that the step by step and the pictures will help out anyone that is just doing some maintenance or an overhual. Good stuff Cracker11

| | I would recommend the cheapest reel that will do what you need it to do until you get a good routine down. I made the mistake when I started my collection of rods and reels to go too big at first. I had no clue how to properly maintain a reel, and managed to completely destroy a couple of pricey reels before I realized tossing a couple of rods, a 30lb tackle box, and a 5 gallon bucket of finger mullet in the bed of my truck without strapping in the bucket and box down then tearing across an old trail while the eyes of my rods and the handles of my reels where being flattened, wasn't such a good idea. Whatever you decide to buy, make sure it feels comfortable to the type of fishing that you are doing. I have different rods, with different line for different lures, and for different bait. Most rods and reels will last as long as you keep them in good condition. I keep my stored on the roof of my garage away from flying tools (usually) and random objects slinding and smashing them. I've never been one to breakdown a reel on a regular basis, even when I did fish everyday, but it might be 3am when I get home and you better bet those reels are washed down (used to rinse out the outoard too, man the neighbors loved shrimping season) every single time.

| I use shimano symatre 2500 on a eagle claw aristacrate 7' med action by w/m they work good for reds, trout, snook, and just about anything else the best way that I've found to clean them is to soak them in clean water over night open the drag fill a cooler or something with clean water and let the water dissolve the salt. I'm a guide in crystal river and I use my reels three or four times a week. and I've been using some of them for years and have never taken them apart. just soak them every time you use them
