Cryogenics and what it can do for your reels 242 detailed pages! we've created the best resource you can find on fishing reel maintenance and care. From the beginner to the seasoned angler, it's a book that every angler should simply not be without! Whether you're purchasing a new reel, or would like to service and maintain your current collection of reels. There are many things that you should know, and not just how to disassemble the reel. If you are purchasing a new reel I'm sure you've been the conscious angler so you've done a lot of research, talked to others about which ones they like best and why. You checked free spool times, gear ratios, line capacity, star or lever drag, size, etc. Maybe walked into a few stores and held them in your hands. But there are other equally important factors that you should be considering such as Serviceability; can you service the reel yourself or will it have to be done professionally. Sounds like a simple thing, although time and again anglers overlook this consideration because they hear the marketing hype about how many years of trouble free service the reel will give, which they assume means it needs no service at all, wrong.
