Reel make and model would help. Is it a bearing or bushing?young gun said:used reel not brand new, what i'm trying to get at is, how often, what to use, and how much?

Re: C.P. care, how to?
ive had my green Streamside for 2yrs now and havent needed to clean it yet. the bearing reels are pretty closed in :thumbup: which means alot less cleaning and greasing
one thing to watch out for though is: the bloody screw that holds the reel together does loosen so make sure you have a small screwdriver with you when fishing. I actually had mine pop apart while reeling it in one day. my dad managed to find the screw, put it back together and kept fishing otherwise it would have been a bad day.

Re: C.P. care, how to?
You should put a small dab of loctite on that screw HOOK, itll still be able to be backed out with a screw driver but it will never work its self free again. I like to take a look inside my KF after each trip to make sure its clean. Its easier to give it a quick wipe to clean out fresh borax rather than trying to scrub out crap thats been in there for months or weeks. Plus it helps prevent premature wear and I'm kinda anal about things that cost a good chunk of change and keeping them clean.

Use the BLUE loctite. It's not permanent.Shane said:You should put a small dab of loctite on that screw HOOK, itll still be able to be backed out with a screw driver but it will never work its self free again.

Re: C.P. care, how to?

hook, if you get that reel you will have to order a custom rod that will balance with that reel... its extremely light.

Re: C.P. care, how to?
good starter pin for you yg, after you get decent with it, look for a used islander and you will see the difference right away.

Re: C.P. care, how to?
You shouldn't be putting anything on your bearings...Oil, grease mean dirt and grinding crappy performance...leave um alone...
Kingpin, when you get good enough with your islander...you can move up to an Angspec. ;D let me know..mine is collecting dust!!!

Re: C.P. care, how to?

Re: C.P. care, how to?
Hooking a hot fish, then "applying the brakes" could warp it, as could snagging up badly then trying to break your main line.
