i have heard the same thing, and have done so to all my reels after SW fishing for years now.
i have several Abu 5500 models. and have used many of them in SW for 3-4 years now.
i do have to clean/lubricate the Abu reels every 3-4 months or so, but this keeps them working well.
HOOKFYNN- the Abu's are actually fairly easy to completely disassemble, clean, and put back together.
you might try it with one of yours.
the manuals are online at Abu Garcia website, if you want to look at them first.
