If you have ever wanted to take the next step in maintaining your own reels then this is the perfect book for you. We take you through every aspect of your reel, and teach you what you need to know about your reel, how to properly care and maintain your reels, and what products you should or should not be using.

    From the beginner to the seasoned angler, it's a book that every angler should simply not be without!

    Whether you're purchasing a new reel, or would like to service and maintain your current collection of reels. There are many things that you should know, and not just how to disassemble the reel. If you are purchasing a new reel I'm sure you've been the conscious angler so you've done a lot of research, talked to others about which ones they like best and why. You checked free spool times, gear ratios, line capacity, star or lever drag, size, etc. Maybe walked into a few stores and held them in your hands. But there are other equally important factors that you should be considering such as Serviceability; can you service the reel yourself or will it have to be done professionally.
    Sounds like a simple thing, although time and again anglers overlook this consideration because they hear the marketing hype about how many years of trouble free service the reel will give, which they assume means it needs no service, wrong.

    Reliability is another important factor in a reel. Let's face it most drags stick on reels right out of the box and the few that do not, won't remain smooth for any length of time. Corrosion is also a big issue and preventing it starts at the factory during the manufacturing process and continues with the angler after the purchase.

    It is your investment, or if you own a reel repair business it is your customer that is relying on you to help them maintain their reels in the proper way. And as with any investment, you need to maintain it properly to protect it.

    In past days anglers we not as in tuned to maintaining their reels they way we are today, with more technological advances also comes more precise and more sensitive gear to the elements. Anglers sometimes think that as long as the reel is not dropped in the sand, water, or dirt that it should not need as much periodic maintenance, however consider the case of the surf fishermen, the reel is subjected to windblown sands, roasting sunlight, and saltwater spray, all without even touching the ground.

    In this book we are going to give you the knowledge to properly care for and maintain your fishing reels for years of enjoyment and at its peak performance for when it really counts!I cover a lot of topics within the book, simply because there are a lot of outside influences when it comes to reels, including lines, lubricants, reel covers, and a lot more that all affect the performance, serviceability and sustainability of any reel.
