I have a Shimano ACS Iron baitcasting reel which is a couple years old. I am starting to have some issues with casting distance and I think the reel may need a good cleaning or regreasing. Can anyone tell me what normal maintenance should be on one of these reels or baitcasters in general. I have never opened a baitcaster before so this will be new for me. I was told to go in with a toothpick and clean out whatever I can. I also picked up a tube of reel grease to lube everything up.
Does anyone else have suggestions??? I would really like to get this reel back into peak shape. Thanks.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
