Long-distance spinning reels are important tools for fishing enthusiasts who pursue long-distance casting effects. In order to ensure its smooth operation and extend its service life, regular lubrication maintenance is essential. Lubrication can not only effectively reduce friction, but also protect internal parts, prevent rust and wear, thereby improving the overall performance of the equipment.

Prepare tools and materials
Before lubrication maintenance, you need to prepare the following tools and materials:
1. Lubricating oil: Choose lubricating oil designed for fishing tackle and ensure that it is suitable for various parts of the reel.
2. Cleaning tools: Including soft brushes, damp cloths and lint-free cloths, etc., for cleaning the surface and inside of the reel.
3. Screwdriver: used to remove the reel's detachable parts.
4. Container: used to place the removed parts to prevent loss.

Clean the reel
Before lubrication, cleaning the reel is a prerequisite for ensuring that the lubricant effectively penetrates into various parts. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Disassemble the reel: Remove the reel from the fishing rod and make sure the reel is in the closed state. According to the design of the reel, use an appropriate screwdriver to remove removable parts such as the spool and brake system.
2. External cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe the outer shell of the reel to remove salt, mud and dirt. Be careful to prevent moisture from entering the interior.
3. Internal cleaning: Use a soft brush to clean the inside of the reel, especially the bearings and gears, to ensure that there are no impurities and dirt left.

Check the parts
After cleaning, carefully check the various parts of the reel to ensure that there are no signs of wear or damage. Focus on the following parts:
Bearings: Confirm whether the bearings rotate smoothly and whether there are any abnormal noises or jamming.
Gears: Check whether the gears mesh properly and whether there are any wear or missing teeth.
Brake system: Ensure that the brake system operates sensitively and that all parts are not loose or damaged.

Lubrication steps
After confirming that all parts are intact, you can perform lubrication operations. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Bearing lubrication: Remove the bearing, drip a small amount of lubricating oil into the bearing, and gently rotate the bearing to ensure that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed. If the bearing is dirty, clean it with a detergent before lubricating it.
2. Gear lubrication: Apply an appropriate amount of lubricant to the gear contact surface to ensure smooth and unobstructed operation of the gear. Avoid excessive application to prevent grease from overflowing.
3. Spool lubrication: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the friction surface of the spool to reduce friction and wear and ensure smooth rotation of the spool.
4. Brake system lubrication: Gently apply lubricant to the contact surface of the brake pad and the brake disc to ensure the sensitivity and stability of the brake system.

Assembling the reel
After lubrication, the reel needs to be reassembled in the order of disassembly. After ensuring that all parts are dry and dust-free, put each part back in place one by one. The screws should be tightened, but be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the threads.

Testing performance
After assembly, perform performance tests to ensure that the reel is operating normally. The test steps include:
1. Spin test: Gently spin the reel to check whether it runs smoothly and listen for any abnormal sounds.
2. Brake test: Test the sensitivity of the brake system to ensure that it can brake in time when tension is applied.
3. Throwing test: Perform a throwing test in a safe environment to observe the smoothness and distance of the throwing process.
