I do all other reels myself,,this year it will be sent out.( no reason for not servicing it) Its been submerged, dunked, put in the sand With a quick rinse here and there...Kinda wanted to see the beating it could take before service.. And a it did great,,Slight oil leak where the handle meets I noticed this year,,so I think I service if a must this year
