Thread: Cleaning a reel?

I posted this past weekend that I caught a fishing rod and reel in the lake. I was looking at it last night, and think it needs some TLC.. Can someone tell me how to get the internals cleaned and re-greased? What lubricant would you use? I don't think I've ever cleaned any of my reels. 0.o It seems that I've picked a good weekend to be sick. I woke up this morning unable to breath. Darn cold. This Sunday looks to be a bit too chilly for me to try fishing. Maybe I'll just work on reel maintenance.

Google the model # and you'll probably find the spec sheet for it since each reel is different gears etc.

I second the cold, ugh

Look on youtube.com, lot of good video'shows on cleaning reels.
