Care Tips for Penn and Lew's Reels

After saltwater trips, rinse reels with freshwater and dry them before storage. Avoid high-pressure sprays that force water past seals.

Drag

Back off drag when storing for long periods. Tighten only when you are ready to fish.

Service

Follow each brand's lubrication guide. Penn Battle and Lew's baitcasters both benefit from periodic bearing care.
