As far as the reel goes, all I do with a new reel is clean the bearings. I remove them, put them in a shot glass full of lighter fluid and let then set a bit, then remove and dry them. Reinstall them then put a drop of reel oil on them and you are good to go. I use the shot glass so I can put the whole spool in it without having to remove the bearing from the spool if it has one. I have found no real need to clean and regrease the gears. Never a problem once I do this.

The bearings are packed with grease and the lighter fluid dissolves it. Put one on a pencil point and spin it. Then clean it and do the pencil point test again. You will be amazed how much better it spins.

hey, I got the reels cleaned, works better. though i got a micro guide rod and one of the guides has split when i set the hook. it was hanging on by one side, I went to straighten it and it fell off, hope they take rod back and exchange it without resceipt, I think i will stick to the normal guide ones
