Saltwater Spinning Reel
How do I fix a “locked up” fishing reel?
I accidentally forgot to wash my reel with freshwater after it was exposed to saltwater and sand. The reel (spinning reel) can rotate both ways, but the handle won’t budge. How should I fix this?
The possible causes are sand or rust. Either way, you’ll have to open it up and clean it out, then re-lube it and reassemble it. The parts schematic is probably available online (at the manufacturer’s website), or you may have one which came with the reel. Reel lube is available at any tackle shop if you don’t have it already. I’ve been servicing my own reels since I was 12. It’s not rocket science.
Or if you’re not mechanically inclined, you can take it to a tackle shop and pay to have them do it — it’ll probably cost a few bucks, but it should be done right.
