I have a question for those that don't service your reel: Why not? Do you service other reels you own (the ones you can do yourself)?
I couldn't imagine letting any reel carry over from one season to the next without service. Even if the reel feels like it is doing fine, the drag washers are getting warn down, oil & grease gets broken down, etc. All of my reels get cleaned, lubed and drags replaced every off season, even the ones I have to do myself.
