Fishing performance So, enough of sexy design techniques, pretty whippings and all that malarkey, how is the rod when you fish with it
Finally, Im getting it done During the past year and a half Ive bought and used three Black Max 2 Combos and have put them all to good use, on the water, in real-life fishing situations
The 6 HPCR (High Performance Corrosion Resistant) bearings and IAR bearing are built for corrosion resistance as well making this reel ideal for freshwater and saltwater applications
(See Figure 4) Saltwater Reel Care: Essential Maintenance Tips to Prevent Corrosion As mentioned, cleaning saltwater reels may require a few more steps so please familiarize yourself with the following tips if youre coming off a day at sea: Clean your reels after every use in saltwater Remove the reel from the rod and submerge in fresh water with a little soap to loosen any salty debris left on the reel (this can also be done with a rag if you dont want to submerge the reel)
The reel was made in Akron, Ohio until 1979 when production moved to China
