LOL, I bet you wished that happened everyday. I know I would! [cool]
That brings up a good point lund2003. Proper maintenence is such an important factor if you want your reels to last. I tear down all my reels atleast twice a year, and sometimes more depending on use. Reels can last a lifetime if they are properly taken care of, and they can crap out on you in a matter of months if they are not.
That heavy blue grease wouldn't be so bad if it was in the right place. [sly] Atleast he tried, but it does pay to read the instructions. I actually lube the internal gears with vasalene. It doesn't get much more water proof then that, and it's petroleum based and makes a great lubricant. [cool]
