| just take off the side panel and drop some reel oil on the bearings and other moving parts. I should follow my own advice... Reply • Back to Top |
| Shimano has a guide in their maintenance section. Check it out. Reply • Back to Top |

| Reel Magic, you can get it just about anywhere, works great. Just hit a lick every once in awhile, don't have to lube it after every use as long as you rinse with freshwater before you put it away. Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by CalcuttaTigah on 6/6 at 6:44 pm to Uncle JackD Another poster already said this but definitely hit them with the hose when you get home and wipe them down. It is pretty easy to pop off the side and hit the non-crank side with a drop or two of oil. Your crank side should be fine. In reality, the bearings are sealed which is why curados have been popular redfish reels for years.Reply • Back to Top |
| Is real magic to keep salt and such out or lub after the fact? I've heard both. I too need to make my lazy self clean my Chronarch Reply • Back to Top |
