what can i use to buff or polish my center pin reel?? im getting little half moons from my black gloves and wanna be able to keep my reel looking new for as long as i can.

any suggestions would be great.

basically looking for something i can just rub and wipe off kinda thing. hopefully nothing abrasive as that will ruin the finish.

Take off the gloves : Any sort of chemical most likely will affect the strength of the line on the reel.

Half moons? You're hooped now, should've gone for the fashion reel....

Hook are you getting hypnotized on the couch watching the handles go round and round. Didn't you buy this reel as a tool for fishing. ??? The fish really don't care if it is polished or not nor does the person walking past you on the flow... I have a quick question for you. Do you iron your waders before you hit the flow...I can't wait for your reply to my question... :cheers: sage

Anybody know what time the dry cleaners is open until in Mission? I have to pick up my vest so I can look polished for the morning

They all had a good laugh at me cause I was wearing a pair of beat up hip boots with a gallon of goop on them, a vest that is covered in roe slop that I'm not even allowed to bring into the house anymore, and an old beat up silex with halfmoons all over the reel face.


This buffing thread has all the inklings of centerpins being nothing more than a Fashion Show. Too bad some people see it that way

so you look good standing at the intake?

 

[sage2106lb]

Hey barskull if you get a faint smell of Febreeze waftting down too the intake from blood rock.That would be me.Just thought I would make it a little more enjoyable for you. :cheers: sage

 

[JetBoat Jim]

perhaps if it was an upstream breeze it could be the smell of my ETERNITY coglone, or my big honkin cigar.

ok your smart A**es :happy: i wanna keep it clean for my own personal preference. I wanna take care of my investment. i dont like the look of the grayish rings around the reel handles. thank you to the couple of you that "actually" suggested something

 

[noxcape]

nice thing to see when you get home from work eh hook lol sucks not to be able to keep up with it during the day lol but I'm sure you knew this was going to happen you got admit some of it was pretty funny

 

[HOOK]

funny or not it was a whole lot of useless stuff :wallbash: I had to read through all that to find the 2 posts that had suggestions :wallbash:

and Sage - no i dont iron my waders, i dont even clean them ever. I do however take care of my gear which is why i asked this question. eace:

 

[STLHDR]

I was washing mine as I read this thread earlier :-[

 

[noxcape]

i cant remember if i was in on it but i clean my stuff all the time i clean my reels like every trip and grease and oil them every week and then at the end of every year i take them appart and do a full service like i said in my post my reels still look as good as the day i bought them and my bass ones are almost clean enought to eat off of them

 

[HOOK]

and thats how i want my pin to stay. clean and in pristine condition. I dont know why this happened on this reel :-\ it never happened on my old one. and i dont care if it damages the line because im replacing the line thats on it. including the backing (not a fan of the green really)
