Peter Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have bought several new reels particular diaiwa saltiest multipliers that have absolutely no grease or oil inside and have caused problems early on solved by dismantling and adding lubrication. Could be washing in water could have aggravated this situation suggest opening up and checking if any lubrication needed Peter gjb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've got some paste that dissolves rust. You're welcome to a " dab " of it Graham. May prove difficult though. It needs to be able to get at it to work. You're welcome to try though. Jim gjb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 If it only cost that amount get the screwdriver out yourself and take a chance gjb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjb Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Been there done that Martin if you turn the bale arm the handle will turn but try the handle as you should and locked solid no rust inside i think i will bury it at sea with some other good tackle ? if i print off the gps numbers for this maybe we could have a new reef and some good will come from this tackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
