Help removing light corrosion from your reel
Guys,
I'm cleaning up an old Penn 5500SS that I want to pair with a decent beginner rod, as a Christmas present for my 10 year old nephew, who has recently contracted the fishing bug.
The reel has some very light corrosion, mostly in the drag housing area. I soaked it in water and that seemed to remove most of it. Is there something else that I can soak it in, that will neutralize the salt? Baking soda or vinegar? I must have skipped those days in science class....
Rod suggestions would be great. It will be mostly chasing schoolies and pier fishing.
The reel has no roller, should I avoid braid because of this?
Thanks in advance
