How do you guys keep your 25 clean and lasting.
I come back from a trip and hose it down then spray them with Innox. I've been told this is good for them, Is this right?
Or is there a grease hole somewhere on the reel to grease it better. When I questioned the tackle shop they said there was no grease nossle, came home had a nosey and it does not really appear to be a nipple to grease properly on there either. So I hose and spray, is this correct?
I've had my TLD25 for about two years and have tried my very best to destroy it. I opened it up last night for the first time, afraid of what I'd find but was amazed at how good it was. I didn't pull the spool apart (spool houses the drag) but put a bit of grease on the main gears and oiled the bearings I could get to. Only found some minor wear to the anti-reverse, and virtually no corrosion. They're a tough reel, but don't be afraid to take it apart for some oil. There's no real surprises (without pulling the spool apart).
When you hose it down do it with the lightest spray possible with drag on full then spray a cloth with inox and give it a wipe then back off the drag for storage. Should last for a fair while.
Cheers, Jay
use grease on the preset knob and main shaft, I strip mine completely every 6 months as they cop a lot of saltwater, the preset knob is the first thing to cause trouble though.
