I have a Daiwa Megaforce reel that was my first baitcast reel. I've had it for about 5 months now. It has dirt and stuff in it from riding on an ATV on dirt roads. When I cast and reel in it doesn't feel near as smooth as I think it should. I think that it greatly hurts my sensitivity when fishing soft plastics waiting for that subtle bump. How can I fix this?

Thanks

If you don't know how to do it yourself, I'd suggest sending it to a reel mechanic for a good cleaning!

x2. best money you'll ever spend. Extends the life and will prob make it feel brand new again.

simple fix....clean it....reel mechanic is great

Like the others stated. Only I would deep clean and re-polish all free spool friction points. While that is being done, I would purchase a good reel cover for the reel as it makes those dusty trips on the ATV.....

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!
