I don't think I'll buy another Stratic for the surf though....the Spheros is better suited....
I dont do the fine mist thing, to be honest I usually just drive to the car wash and spray the truck and rods/reels/and kayak down and throw a quick blast of wax, I know I shouldn't but the wax makes the rods easier to clean and keeps the green crude from forming around the guides. Sometimes I even wipe down my rods with furniture wax, it works

I do the same thing with wd-40 on my reels, works like a charm....

I own 4 of them, for the money they are pretty damn smooth.
BUT, once they get dunked, they just never seem to be the same.
I have a vs150 and a 200, those are now my surf reels, for obvious reasons...

Used hard and put away dirty....
