If you find parts need to be replaced during the cleaning process you can find parts readily available on eBay or even through your local bait and tackle shop. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for or need a reel schematic most of the Abu Garcia Schematics are available online through Abu Garcia. Southwestern Parts and Service is also a great resource for schematics and parts. You can use any reel lube and oil that you prefer. I use a variety of lubricants but the Abu Garcia brand products work well because they do their job well and can be found at most stores.įrom my screwdriver kit, I only use the 1.4mm flat tip and the #1 Phillips screwdrivers. The extra flat tip screwdriver is available in the event that the 3 thumbscrews are too tight on the Abu faceplate, but most importantly, for the pawl cover. To clean the parts you can use Simple Green or Oxy Clean.
Be careful not to get any overspray on to your line, unless your cleaning agent is biodegradable. This reduces the chances of affecting the properties of your line.
