Rep Power: 4 | if you got Jigger3000 then you need to be hardworking to despool the whole line after fishing trip, clean the spool carefully. It easily get rusted...  However, this reel damn smooth to crank in even with heavier sinker. Drag quite smooth. Haven't tested on its limit since haven't face any monster before.  |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 4 | this tot has been with me for awhile, but didn't had time to try it out, was wondering if we're to coat a layer of epoxy over the spool all the way to its rim prior to loading the lines, would that helps in preventing the corrosion problem that we are facing? |

Rep Power: 4 | Edy, Most of the time, will be for bottom fish. octupus, You're right. That's the one thing i hate about Shimanos but they are one of the best when it comes to smooth cranking. Mark, Eeeee...don't think i'll do that unless my spool has already corrode. Guess we have to live with it. Take out the line after every trip. Damned. Cheers! physlo |

 I always apply CX to all metal parts (and moving parts when applicable) of any reel before usage. The same is true for rod guides, metal reel seats and even metallic parts of graphite seats. Regular re-application throughout the life span of the equipment has saved me a lot of grief & heartache from saltwater corrosion.For rods & reels that I have "retired" or do not use often anymore, I will apply a thicker layer of CX for storage to preserve the rod or reel properly. For those who have fished saltwater long enough, they will know that no matter now well you think you washed the equipment, somewhere, somehow, there will be some salt residual left behind to do the damage!!! | |

Rep Power: 4 | Makaira, I'm currently using MD 50 on my reels. So far so good. No sign of corrosion or whatsoever. I still try to find time and strip the barided line after every fishing trip. Thanks. Any idea which reels mentioned above have bigger gears? Cheers! physlo |

Rep Power: 5 | Hi Physlo, Stripping line for storage is not exactly a breeze for braided lines. Remember you have to load it back under considerable tension; so if the holding spool is not loaded tight enough, it will be a real pain trying to re-load the line back on the reel. Best thing is to have a good relationship with a tackle shop that has an electric line loader As far as which of the 2 reels have a bigger gear, I would hazard a guess that the Shimano has because it has a much larger "gearbox" so to speak. Best regards, Makaira |

That in itself can be a big problem if the line was not packed on tight enough in the unspooling process. If the line is not packed on tight enough on the holding spool, the line will dig in when you hold the spool sides tightly for tension. If gloves or a wet towel towel is used to provide the pressure, I always have this phobia that the friction will inevitably cause some damage to the line. This explains why all of us experience some mainline break-offs for no apparent reason. It could be due to knicks, puffer fish, other toothy creatures, but I have experienced mainline breakage from brand new line when I know none of the above are present in the waters I was fishing in. I blame it on friction damage; especially when the line is machine loaded. Having said that, I guess hand winding will not create that much heat & so friction damage may be less serious of a problem, especially if you soak the line in water before loading. | |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 6 | Actually spool corrosion is no big deal lar... corrode corrode lor. Not as if it's going to affect your reel's performance. As long as the internals of your reel does not corrode it will last you a long long time. Wait a while longer and Daiwa might come out with a black Z20/Z30 and call it CatFight :P |
