Doesn't the DC spring loaded dog sit on that same post where it could also get stuck to it? You figure with the spring, it'll stay in motion and won't stick to the post? At least you can hear that click and know it's engaging! I can hear it in both my Toriums.

this thing was a mess on the outside.  spent 15 minutes just scrubbing the slime off with an old toothbrush.  has anyone used an electric toothbrush to clean up reels?  i'm going to order one and see how it works out.

found this one for $10.99!  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BT5PBWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have nothing to say but wanted to reply to this thread just so it will show up in the short list of "Show new replies to your post".  Sometimes that list is all there is time for.  Thank you Alan.

by chance do you have a pic of how it looked thar reel before you clean it up?

I used to use toothbrush too until finding sometimes the bristles where too small or short to reach certain areas, so I switched to a 1" paintbrush, I cut the bristles 1/2" (depending) from the tip to make them firmer and brush the reel parts much better, this way I cover more are of the reel faster and easier than using a toothbrush.

That's disgusting.
Imagine what it would look like in another month.......
There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

Are they swimming with them? I caught a tonnage on my Lexa 400hs-p and it was pristine. As is my newer Lexa 400hd.
