Greetings all - I wanted to say "hi" and Thanks for all the great info here
Servicing my fleet of Avet MXL's that haven't had a lot of time on the field but also haven't had any service despite a couple of trips to the salt and several on the lakes/rivers
Thanks to the posts here I had the confidence to fully tear down the reel, clean throughly in an ultrasonic and rebuild.

I know a number of the Kerr Striper guys - several were up at SML in December for the Striper Mafia tourney series I run. We put on a benefit tourney on Ssml for the daughter of one of the Kerr guys as she was battling cancer and then I helped the guys with one down there. Good crew of anglers
Welcome aboard, from Tampa!
