Whats the best method for oiling my curados without taking them completely apart? They got awfully salty this past wknd and all I've done so far is rinse em under the sink.


I always give them a good rinsing but oftenshould one earl and lube?

just take off the side panel and drop some reel oil on the bearings and other moving parts.

I should follow my own advice...

Shimano has a guide in their maintenance section. Check it out.

hose them off after use. take off side panel like said before and oil in there if you think it needs it. I don't do it enough.

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.

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.
