I just purchased 5 new Okuma Cortez 10CS reels and was wondering if I should grease the washers before I use them They sure seem to work great right now, but I want to do what's best for them.
They should be greased with Cal's grease already.
I bought a Cortez 10CS last year, and as you say, they seem to work great straight out of the box.
All I did was take it apart, add a bit more grease here and there to make sure it was well protected.
The drags seemed to be well greased already.

Thanks guys. I kinda had a feeling Okuma probably greased them already. I didn't want to take them all apart just to find they were OK as is.
yes, they are greased already!

Hey Winterkings: You are an Alan Tani member and you do not want to see what the guts look like? :o :o That's 2 demerits. ;D Dominick
Be nice Dominick. Some believe that if it works, don't mess with it. Some of us believe that if it works, how can we make it better
I need to see the insides of one of these. If and when a person needs parts, where is the best place to get them? Go directly to Okuma? If so, do they have a website or 800 number?
Directly from Okuma.
