That time of year

Featured Replies

It is that time of year for me to clean some reels, line them up and get ready to do some fishing today, hopefully that is 😬

I clean reels in the Summer, it's my slow season.

i cleaned and lubed a couple weeks ago.  I wait to line them until closer to the season normally, but I had a free saturday where I had to stay home and had nothing else to do so I started the process.  Still one or two more that I haven't decided on the line I'm going to use just yet, but if I had to go fishing right now I'd be in okay shape.

I have been putting the deep cleaning off for the whole season. I want to clean and relube the bearings in the baitcasters, so I have to pick the bearing oil up on Thursday.

My reels are all serviced and ready to go back onto my rods... Still need to reseal all the cork with fresh coat of U40... Still 2 months before our ice all melts tho...

I just finished 16 reels and still have several to go. It's fun at first but after a while, my mind tells me it's time to go fishing. 

I did all my reels last month, cleaned & lubed. I had a loose guide on one rod so I repaired that a couple weeks ago. We still have ice on our lakes, but with the warm weather this week we'll probably be seeing some open water.

My gear has been in B Zero status for a while. And it will still be a while before we have open water.
