Tips of maintaining the fishing reel

2022-09-26

A fishing reel is one of the fishing equipment that is often used when fishing, especially for friends who love sea fishing. Because the structure of the fishing reel is very complex, the higher-end fishing gear is more sophisticated and difficult to repair and disassemble. Therefore, the angler should master some maintenance common sense in the process of use, and the maintenance method of the drum reel.
Every time after returning from the sea, the fishing reel, fishing rod, fishing line, fishing bait, and other equipment used should be washed with fresh water and dried before being stored.
The simple maintenance of the fishing reel mainly includes the flushing of the line spool, the handle, the main shaft bearing, and the lubrication of the mating surface. This maintenance is suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance for short-term sea fishing. Anglers can complete it by themselves, without the need for deep disassembly and assembly of the fishing reel. Simply remove the reel's line spool and handle, rinse off the surface with fresh water, and let dry. Before installation, check the grease on each mating hole and surface, if it is not enough, add it then install it back as it is. 



The moderate maintenance of the fishing reel is suitable for periodic maintenance work when fishing for a long time. Slightly more complicated than simple maintenance, you need to remove the wire cup holder, open the gearbox cover on the main frame to allow the water vapor in it to evaporate naturally, and then refuel and install it back. This job is suitable for more experienced anglers to do.
The advanced maintenance of the fishing reel is to disassemble the whole fishing reel and clean the parts to remove the sludge. This kind of work is complicated, and all parts need to be removed. It is best to send the fishing reel to a professional maintenance point. If you have a certain knowledge of mechanical maintenance, you can also try to do it yourself.

In addition, a line pulley is a place that is often overlooked for maintenance, and when a jam occurs here, it can cause serious damage to the fishing line. After disassembling, first, check whether the bearing is running smoothly, then clean the sludge, and then put a small amount of grease on the pulley hole and bearing hole and then install it.
