Sandy, salty reel death: not all reels are created equal!

RE: Sandy, salty reel death: not all reels are created equal!
Wow that helps - a lot. I have already stripped the grease on all the parts before with detergent and an old toothbrush, so that's no problem doing it again. I'll just find the proper grease, and go with the fishing-brand. No good reason why I wanted to avoid fishing-brand other than my gut feeling that it's the same oil/grease you buy at Home Depot with a different label.

If I tear it down again, I'll have to clean the drag stack. This reel never had a super smooth drag, it's always been chattery. If I'm going to use it seriously I have to get rid of this problem somehow. I could probably bring it in to an expert.

OT: I don't know what you mean by drag assemblies? You mean the drag disks?
