Oiling & Cleaning a baitcasting reel?

I have a abu garcia silver max baitcater.
Does anyone know how to clean & oil a baitcaster?
Didn't come with owner's manual. Abu's web site is not helpful at all!

Great question.
I have a name and number of company that you can send reels to and they maintain them. I think bass pro does same thing.

how much cleaning needs to be done? if you're willing to learn, it's not that difficult to do light maintenance. there are a lot of youtube videos on it and online tutorials.

if its a good reel it shouldn't need tooo much maintenance...if they sell the reel at bass pro, they have a live chat on their website, they may be able to tell you where to find an online manual.

Its a $60 reel. Not the greatest reel, so I thought taking good care of it will make it last longer. I'll try youtube.

Just trying to keep busy & be ready for spring, I'm starting to get "CABIN FEVER!" Its been 2 mounths since I wet a line! Three more to go!

Two up coming events to look forward to. These will help take ease my "CABIN FEVER" a little!

There is the "Fishing Classic" @ BPS Feb 25-March ?
The Fishing Expo @ DCU center Feb 11-13

Anyone going?

I was actually watching that show on Versus...Bass Pros...and there was a section with Rick Clunn Bass fishing 101 or something and it was about cleaning and lubing reels...it was on over the weekend and I just watched it today, couldn't find it online. I'm sure youtube has a ton of stuff.

watch for reruns maybe??

Be careful not to lubricate the reel too much. that could mess it up too. It should only take one drop of oil for each bearing or shaft thats all.Ardent makes a good Reel Butter.Also a degreaser to clean off the outside frame if you want

I googled The Fishing Expo @ DCU center Feb 11-13 and the only thing that came up was a boat show on that date did I miss something?
