Okay, my kind of spring cleaning anyway...

All I have to do now is figure out how to clean my room...

lol! I just finished tearing apart all of my reel and cleaning up a few days ago. I try and do it at least once every couple of months when I am fishing saltwater on a regular basis.

I consider myself pretty careful and patient, never taken a reel apart though. How challenging is it to clean/grease your own reels?

Both look pretty easy to work on, definitely takes some patients. I always work on top of a large white towel, this helps me find some of the tiny parts.

I took my Cardiff apart a few months ago.......it wasn't fun

I don't have any problems maintaining Penn and Daiwa Saltwater reels. Anything else, I am always hesitant, but extremely careful. I have an Abu Garcia Promax that I stopped trying to get back together. I think I will try again today. It has only been 7 years.

Good advice. It cuts down on trips to the tackle store for parts.
