Hi guys, I hope you've managed to dip your rods now we're steering towards normality!

I'm just doing some reel maintenance and was wondering if you'd recommend oiling the washers inside the spool?

I have 3 steel washers with 3 carbon washers in between. They're Shimano black mags.

Does anyone know how they're sold, ie dry or greased? Not a lot of info on the WWW.

Thanks in advance and tight lines!

That's what I thought, the Shimano's come with flimsy white ones which have already seized.

From memory I think they're sold with 3 spare?

Thanks!

Shimano now come with shiny plastic, not PTFE as some suggest. Never heard of any seizing before.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
