stradic problems - salt
Message:
ok I have a stradic 2500 mfga that I was given in 2008. I love the reel and have caught tons of fish on it both fresh and salt. I always wash it down after I use it in salt and then give a couple of drops of reel oil as well as spray the outside of it with wd. It has started to feel as though the bearing or something is going on it.
When my friend gave the reel, he specifically told me not to use it in salt, but of course I did. I figured as long as i took care of it, it would be fine. When I retrieve it almost feels like I have a huge weight tied to the end of it compared to the super smooth reel that it once was.
So, am I totally F****ed or can it be fixed? And yes, I am an idiot :roll:
