From using a light mist instead of high-pressure water to wiping your reels dry before storage, these simple steps can help prevent corrosion and keep your gear performing when it matters most. They also discuss what to do if a reel goes overboard, how often the average angler should have a reel professionally serviced, and why taking care of your fishing gear is one of the best ways to avoid equipment failure on the water.
