Hello,
First of all thanks so much to replying, I have tried to email shimano asking them about if I have to clean it or what, and they gave me a REALLY bad reply, didn't even answer my question, I have a shimano chronarch 200e6 baitcaster
But anyway my problem is that while I was fishing on my yak (while I was standing up)I was facing towards the bank and focusing and a water skier comes by and makes a massive wake, I was caught off guard and almost flipped I dropped the rod and reel and very quickly picked it back up I think it was fully submerged but I'm not 100% on that, I tipped it over not very much water came out and I wiped it off with towel right away, it's still performing like its brand new but I'm not sure if I need to send it in for a deep cleaning or not or just clean and oil it or what, the bearings are also protected and corrosion resistant
I got this reel a week ago and I haven't taken it apart yet cause I'm afraid to, I don't know if I should oil it and lube it or what in the world I should do regularly, I use my it about maybe 1-2 a week only in late spring and the whole summer because I'm in minnesota, how often do I need to oil/lube it? What should I use? Can I use any regular oil/lube? Or do I have to buy specific ones for my reel, I know I have to send it in 1 time a year for deep cleaning but can I get away with that without damaging my reel? and I want to keep it for a long time
Thank you so much!
