Hi Alan,
I just joined and want to first say congratulations on the site! I have read your posts and tutorials on other sites and each one is extremely informative and well written. You have a great gift for explaining, in both words and pictures, what can sometimes be a confusing subject.
I recently purchased a Shimano Curado 300DSV (the older silver one) for inshore saltwater use. I just couldn't resist the clearance price.
Since my purchase I have been reading that this model has had a track record of corrosion problems (i.e. the pinion bearing rusting out as well as others).
Can you recommend any preventative steps I could take that would make this reel less susceptible to corrosion before I take it out in the salt?
Thanks,
Bob
