Reel cleening kit

To clean and lubricate your fishing reel using Ardent’s Reel Care Freshwater 3 Pack, follow these steps:

Materials in the 3-Pack:

1. Reel Butter Grease – For long-lasting lubrication of high-friction parts.
2. Reel Kleen Cleaner – For cleaning dirt, grime, and old lubricants.
3. Reel Butter Oil – For superior protection and lubrication of smaller moving parts.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Disassemble the Reel

• Carefully disassemble your reel according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to keep all parts organized.

2. Clean the Reel with Reel Kleen Cleaner

• Spray or apply Reel Kleen Cleaner on a cloth, brush, or directly onto the reel parts.
• Wipe down all external and internal surfaces to remove dirt, grime, salt, and old lubricants.
• Use a small brush to scrub hard-to-reach areas.
• Wipe the parts dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.

3. Lubricate with Reel Butter Oil

• Apply Reel Butter Oil to smaller moving parts like the bearings, gears, and any rotating components.
• Use sparingly, as too much oil can attract dirt and debris.
• Ensure even application to keep parts moving smoothly and to prevent rust or corrosion.

4. Apply Reel Butter Grease to High-Friction Areas

• Apply Reel Butter Grease to larger, high-friction areas such as the main gears and any other contact points under heavier load.
• Spread the grease evenly across these surfaces to provide long-lasting lubrication.

5. Reassemble the Reel

• Once all parts are cleaned and lubricated, carefully reassemble your reel.

6. Final Check

• Spin the reel to ensure it moves smoothly.
• Wipe away any excess grease or oil that might have spilled during the lubrication process.

Regular Maintenance Tips:

• Clean and lubricate your reel after each fishing trip, especially if it has been exposed to water, dirt, or sand.
• Keep your reel protected in a case when not in use to extend its lifespan.

Using Ardent’s Reel Care products regularly will help maintain your fishing reel’s performance, protect it from wear and tear, and ensure a longer life.
