I looked in the "fishing articles" above and searched the forum but could not find anything with hints on cleaning and/or supertuning reels. I would appreciate a link or 2 related to this please.

thanks

TJ

There are a lot of articles on the subjects, do a google search.......

I was hoping there was a link here to be found that I had missed. I did search google and found lots of info though. thanks David.

TimJ,

Feel free to PM with any specific questions. What make reels do you have?

Mike

here man try this website:

http://jdntackle.home.mindspring.com/index%20page.html

that website should be all you need.

i think  true "supertuning" is a thing of the past. a proper clean/lube will change how 90% of all baitcasters work........and for the better.

its not so much supertuning but maybe updating is the right word. I have 4-4600CBs that I want to replace bearings, maybe add bearings instead of bushings (if possible) and replace the drag washers. I have had someone cleaning my stuff but I'm going to learn to do it myself.

my other reels are bps j.morris, older shimano and bps qualifiers.

hmong-that was the first site I checked out on google...lol.

delaware-thanks. I'll be in touch.

This is what you need on how to supertune a reel.

My caution is that you be very careful in using any sand paper on a surface, internal or external. You can change the tolerances from the manufacturer very easily. Some super tuners use a jewelers rouge to buff a high gloss surface on parts with a Dremel.

Each reel can have a few unique areas that need or can use attention.

In all honesty, there are many reels that just don't need it. Others see a nice improvement.
