LJ 4/3 & my first wipeout

[CorvinaLoca]

Your reels are prob full of sand n salt.
Will start making weird noises.
Will eventually fail.
Hopefully not when landing trophy you've worked so hard to hook.

Soak them In Salt Away or equivalent overnite.
Take apart n completely clean, lube, n replace bearings.
Take drag washers apart n let dry or replace.
Or take to tackle shop n get same for 25 plus parts.

Next time take water out of bilge immediately.
Serious safety issue.
Lesson learned.

You got off cheap.
Could have lost lots of gear and or got hurt.
Count ur blessings.
