Care and maintenance tips

To preserve performance and longevity, rinse the rod and reel with fresh water after use, especially in saltwater conditions, and store in a cool, dry place. Periodic minor maintenance on the reel—like inspecting the line guide and applying light lubrication—will help maintain smooth operation season after season.
