Freshwater environments, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, are ideal places for fishing enthusiasts. When using distant spinning reels in these waters, the maintenance and care of the fishing reels is particularly important due to a variety of factors such as water quality, climate, and frequency of use.

Basic Maintenance and Inspection
Regular inspection of fishing reels is key to ensuring their performance. After each use, a comprehensive inspection of all parts of the fishing reel is required, including key components such as the spool, rocker arm, gears, and bearings. During the inspection, focus on whether there are signs of wear, looseness, or damage so that timely treatment can be carried out to avoid malfunctions during fishing.
In freshwater environments, fishing reels are often exposed to impurities such as mud, sand, and aquatic plants, so cleaning is essential. After use, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the fishing reel with clean water, especially the spool and rocker arm parts, to ensure that attached impurities are removed. It should be noted that corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided to prevent damage to the surface of the fishing reel.
Lubrication is another important part of maintaining the performance of the fishing reel. The bearings and gears of the fishing reel must be regularly coated with special fishing reel lubricant or grease to reduce friction and wear and ensure smooth operation. Lubricants should be used reasonably according to the requirements of the instructions to achieve the best maintenance effect.

Selection and maintenance of fishing line
In freshwater fishing, it is equally important to choose the right fishing line. Fishing lines with good wear resistance and tensile resistance should be selected to adapt to different target fish species and fishing methods. According to the specific situation, the line diameter and material should be reasonably selected to increase the success rate of fishing.
Fishing lines may suffer from wear or breakage during use, so it is particularly necessary to check the status of fishing lines regularly. Before each fishing, the wear of the fishing line should be carefully checked, especially the part in contact with the fishing reel. If severe wear is found, the fishing line should be replaced in time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of fishing.
The correct winding method is also an important factor in ensuring the performance of the fishing line. The fishing line should be evenly and tightly wound on the line cup to avoid crossing or overlapping. This practice not only helps to reduce the friction of the fishing line during casting and retrieval, but also prevents unexpected failures of the fishing line during use.

Storage and maintenance of fishing reels
Fishing reels must be completely dry before storage to avoid corrosion or rust caused by residual moisture. It is recommended to place the fishing reel in a well-ventilated place and dry it naturally to keep it in good condition. At the same time, fishing reels should not be exposed to high temperature or humid environments for a long time, which may cause deformation, aging or corrosion of components. Therefore, fishing reels should be stored in a cool and dry place to extend their service life.
In addition to lubrication in daily use, regular oiling and maintenance are equally important. Using special fishing reel maintenance oil to apply important parts such as bearings and gears of the fishing reel can effectively maintain its good operating condition and ensure that it always performs at its best during fishing.

Precautions during fishing
Avoiding excessive casting is an important measure to protect the fishing reel during fishing. Excessive load and frequent casting may cause excessive wear of the fishing reel and affect its service life. When reeling, control is also crucial. Overly violent or too fast reeling operations may damage the fishing reel and fishing line, affecting the overall fishing experience.
