Zee Baas implies you should send the reel back to them yearly as well. They suggest you can service it yourself, but as of the time I bought mine (this spring) they were unable to provide a schematic, parts list, or instructions. Hopefully this has changed, I have not tried to find out yet. Buying and using these reels requires a whole different mind set than buying a 700 Penn.
Along the same lines, after frying my Canon elph, I bought an Olympus W60 waterproof camera thinking I'd be all set. Their warranty also indicates that returning the camera to them yearly for seal replacement at an additional cost is "advised". Got a feeling I know where that is heading.
