I pulled off all the old line and opened it up and was surprised at how clean it was inside. I removed the old grease and give a good cleaning and used some gun oil on the moving parts and then put on some fresh 6lb low vis Trilene and took it out for a test... I caught this little Bass and retired that rig to hanging on the wall...

My Mom's absolute, I gotta have it , all time favorite reel. She used it to out fish everyone in the family when we were in Minnesota and had the audacity to grab her rod and reel immediately after we pulled in to Whitefish Lake Resort in Wirt MN, while Dad checked on our cabin, and with a red and white Daredevil hook a big, to me, 7 3/4 lb Northern. She had it at the car for dad to clean for supper by the time he came back to the car. Mom was the real catch.
