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

RE: Sandy, salty reel death: not all reels are created equal!
Depending on its age the ABU Cardinal 4 may have salt water construction.

The older Zebco Cardinal series of reels - Manufactured in Sweden - are of "saltwater" class construction - with brass and stainless internals. In fact they even had stickers on them proclaiming such.

In any case - It is wise to always rinse your reel and its spool thoroughly with freshwater after an ocean outing. The salt and very fine sand dust can get into everthing - even if the gear didnt get dunked.

<>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><>

See you on the river.
