Just had a chance to re-visit this thread and would like to thank everyone for the tips on freeing up the spool. I will try the salt X trick. I was pretty faithful about rinsing but admit I may have forgotten once or twice. It's usually those quick fishing fixes that I squeeze in when I should be doing something else that results in the reel getting neglected. I think just a light grease on the shaft makes sense.
I assume the line should be stripped off before soaking in Salt X? Not sure what's in that stuff but can't be good for the line.
I have always like those Tibors but never could bring myself to pay the price.
How about those Old Floridas owners any input on them?
