Reel Cleaning

Featured Replies

Could anyone suggest a good website to learn how to clean your reels efficiently.  I no longer have my booklets to my citicas and curados and would like to kill some time.  Thanks alot.  I did check out reel schemetics but only want to pay as a final resort. 

I ordered Reel Mechanic's "guide to reel maintenance".

Very user friendly even for someone like me.

Well put together with pictures.

Or, as already stated, many good threads on this forum to help you out.

check out shimano.com. there is a photo tutorial specifically for curados as well as reel schematics

2X Great manual to use till you are comfortable about tearing them down and putting them back together schematics are important because there are many little parts that get stuck together and with out the drawing it could be hard trying to figure out were they go  . Just my  two cents 

Coopie84, if you want to get into cleaning and lubing your own reels, I recommend a great step-by-step DVD put together by Connie and Tommy Kilpatrick (two highly regarded people in the bass fishing community) at

It will be the best $30 for reel maintenance you ever spent.  I bought one three years ago and needless to say I have saved a bunch of money maintaining my 13 reels.
