how often
 

how often do yall clean yalls reals

i wipe my reel and rod off with a soaking wet towel and then lightly oil the reel every trip

you break it down everytime

nope, not if it hasn't taken a lot of spray or been dunked.....

I just send 'em back. :smokin:

Almost Never!!! Once a year if any!!!! Whip down out side with oil sometimes and just oil!!!

thats why you have to keep buying new ones all the time

I have an older style Curado thats making noises when i reel. I was gonna take it apart this time i was home but i had to rush to work. any one have any ideas or suggestions before i tear into it? and what might be a few places to send them to, salty, that can fix them if something is messed up. it still casts and reals really well, just makes a grinding noise... i know it aint sand because i already sleaned it out. I think its because the line spool is rubbing against the inner lining of the reel housing, might have a wore out bearing or something... what yall think?

After I fish I spray them off with water at the car wash when cleaning my boat. Works fine.

I might do that to my wife but NEVER MY REELS!

:)I reckon so.

?
 

they got salty on hydrocodone ?? :*****:

oxycodine:*****::*****:

nope. it says oxycodone on the label. :)

Salty dont get hooked on that stuff. that some addicting stuff.:spineyes::spineyes:

My Shimano dealer told me that is the one thing you dont want to do!!! said it pushes saltwater in your reels!!!

Bruce...I dont buy no new reels every year!!! I still have some 3 years old!! :D

[SIZE=7]SALTY IS HIGH!!!:smokin:[/SIZE]

Nope, Salty is LOW. :p

D, I'm glad I got 'em. W's gettin' on my nerves. :spineyes:

darn salty he aint worth it just go ahead and make your day put him in ban camp:*****::*****::*****:

when we do that he calls and texts and emails up a storm

Is this What you and Salty ate for SUPER?:confused:

Your thinking of oxycontin...That's the bad boy that everyone OD's on.

OH, NO! This ain't that stuff. The pharmacist said it's the same as Percocet.:shaking:

As I recall YAll were talking about getting HIGH with Salty!!!! NOT REELS!!! BTW...Anybody want to buy some????:shaking:

Yep, bastage called me at 10:45 pm when he got banned from the Gill Net. Wife got pissed.

I ain't sellin' 'em. That's agin the law. :rolleyes:

reels or dope?

cleaning
 

I wipe of my reels everytime with a damp cloth and I take them apart each month. I change string about evry 3 to 4 trips. I love my 100D, I have 6 of them.

2 slo

LOW to the ground..like W hehe

Not quite ground level. :p

[size=6]omg...rotflmao!!!![/size]

fool you better watch it you have to fish with him. I dont want to see that longhorn hat floating on the lake:*****::*****::*****:

salty, speaking of the hat..could i keep it until the day after the shootout? i got 2 tournaments this week and i need her!

I'm bar-b-quein' that sucker.

fool you better send it the hat is over

im sending it!!!just on a later date (saturday evening its going to post office)

[SIZE=7]U LIE!!!:*****::*****:[/SIZE]

no i promise i will stick with it!!


salty since you sent a box COVERED with Ou stickers. i might aswell right in sharpie sayin' "My hat is prolly burning, but OU still sucks!!!"

There will be a late fee of $10 for every day after Thursday. In other words, if I don't get it until Wednesday of next week.....you'll owe me $50.

I lightly rinse my reels after every trip.

About every 3 or 4 trips, i take the spool out and clean any dirt / grit with a kleenex or quitip and oil the bearings.

I have not taken the drag assembly off in about 2 years.....may need to do that sometime.

My reel is 6+ years old and still works very smooth.

I used a Citia (Sp) for a few cast last week. It had a little vibration while casting the line out and I did not think it was as smooth as my CU200BSF.

i aint sendin it pony express!!! you never know i may not even send it!!! you may end up with a custom shirt,by huntin fool, saying OU SUCKS

infraction time

and you may end up in banned camp.:*****:

are you serious about the hat thing? you know im just gunna buy a new one right? lol it dont fit me good no more. (thats why it dont blow off often)
