Went for a Fish the other day and one of my baitcasters sounded a tad dry and noisy!! , gave me a heads up "About Time for some maintenance " . Well glad i did too, although i always give my Reels a good freshwater hosedfown after each trip most were a tad on the dirty oily side when pulled apart .
Water ingress from hosedown i guess and dont seem to make em as they used to!!??..
More regular cleandown and oil from the looks of it ey..
