Without doing any maintenance on the reel, no reel will last you the rest of your life, unless you're planning on booking out at the end of the summer.
Bearings and drag washers have to be maintained and the factory doesn't put enough grease or oil in them to last.

Reel Butter - highly recommend it for all your reels.

papaclaude - great! I'll look forward to see your design. Sounds pretty easy.
Good luck.

Haven't heard from anyone yet so they may not be a regular on this site.
Keep your ears open when you're on the ice in case you hear of anyone who may have lost one.

Even run all the old mixed gas in my 4 stroke lawnmower. Every engine has never...

Remove the connections to the battery before charging. If completely dead it may take up to 14-18 hours to full charge. Basic charging guidelines are to charge the battery two hours for every three hours of use. Although the charger is low output, it can still damage the battery if left on for exten...

Checked out all the bays this afternoon. The water is high and there is some flooding on the lower points i.e. there is water right up to the gate at Walley Bay. There is brown slush about 6 feet wide around the edges of the ice in crappy bay so be careful, especially with the high water, the levels...

This should stir up some conversation. A CO recently stated that the QC MNR does not recognize the Ontario Conservation License when fishing in QC water on the Ottawa because there is no equivalent in their regulations. So, if you are fishing over the boundary line on the Ottawa in Quebec waters, yo...

Thanks Jim. Guess I'll have to call.

I've been looking everywhere for a free schematic for a Rapala RSC 30LC.
Can't find any schematics for Rapala anywhere on line.
Anyone know the secret?
