During the cleaning process, how can I tell if the TROLL-700CS trolling reel has been thoroughly cleaned?

For fishing enthusiasts who love trolling, cleaning and maintenance of the TROLL-700CS trolling reel is essential. Cleaning not only maintains the beauty of the fishing reel, but also ensures its performance and service life. But during the cleaning process, how can you tell whether the fishing reel has been thoroughly cleaned?

An obvious sign is the inspection of the appearance. When there is no obvious salt stain, sand or other dirt on the surface and gaps of the fishing reel, it is a signal that the fishing reel has been basically cleaned. Especially in the parts that often contact seawater, such as the spool and handle, the cleanliness of these areas is an important indicator for judging the cleaning effect.

Turning the rocker arm and spool of the fishing reel and feeling the smoothness of its rotation is also an effective method. If no obvious obstruction or sound of sand friction is felt during the rotation, it can be considered that the internal cleaning work has been done relatively well. Of course, this requires the user to have a certain understanding of the normal rotation feeling of the fishing reel in order to compare the difference before and after cleaning.

Checking the brake and release system of the fishing reel is also key. When there is no accumulation of impurities in these key parts and the operation is smooth, it means that the cleaning work has achieved good results. Especially for brake pads, if there is no residue on the surface after cleaning, and the brakes can be applied quickly and smoothly during use, then it can be considered that the part has been thoroughly cleaned.

In addition, a simple functional test of the fishing reel can also assist in the judgment. For example, in a safe environment, perform several operations of releasing and reeling in, and observe whether the spool is stable during the releasing process and whether the reeling is smooth and noiseless. These can reflect the cleanliness of the inside of the fishing reel.

Another detail that cannot be ignored is the smell of the fishing reel. After cleaning, the fishing reel should no longer have the salty smell of seawater or the odor of impurities, but present a relatively fresh state. Although this is a more subjective judgment standard, it is also a cleaning effect that users can intuitively feel.

Through the comprehensive judgment of the above multiple aspects, we can more accurately evaluate whether the TROLL-700CS trolling fishing reel has been thoroughly cleaned. Keeping the fishing reel clean is not only for its beautiful appearance, but also to ensure stable and efficient performance output during trolling.
