I'm about to invest into two brand new Penn CONQUER 8000 size reels.  I was wondering, besides spooling them up with spectra; what else should I do to them before taking them out for a test drive/trip?

Bump.

I just got the two reels in the mail today.  $169 a piece off of eBay.

Send them to me.  I'll break them in for you. :D Salmon season opens Saturday here.  :)  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Did you figure out how to get to the drag stack?

Grease drag washers. Repackage bearings with a mixture of Yamaha grease and corrosion x spray. NOt to thick and not to thin
