Prevent Deck Rash On Your New Fishing Reels

If you are like me and have half a dozen to two dozen shiny new expensive bait casting reels, then why wouldn’t you protect your investments? I’ve recently purchased eight new Shimano Curado 200 E7 reels. New for 2009 from Shimano. These reels are engineering works of art. So whenever my reel isn’t in my hands being cast, it sits protected in a reel cover.
Prior to making my investment in eight spanking brand new reels….I needed to find some money. So what does every enterprising, crazy, and frugal bass chaser end up doing….trading up your used fishing gear! I sold several of my Shimano Curado 100D reels on EBAY and the others on fishing swap boards. I recouped almost all of my initial investment. I sold these for this high price because they looked new.
I'm always going fishing with my friends or relatives in their boats. Between putting them in and out of the car, rod lockers, huge waves, and deck rash…a reel cover is the only way to prevent scratches. Proper cleaning and lubrication is a must. Shimano and Bass Pro Shops offer reel covers. They are a strecthy/rubbery type material. They fit over the reel like a glove. I have some reels that work fine but look terrible? Your fishing reels can mark up easily from hitting other reels.
I consider the reel covers a low cost investment to protect my much larger investment. Reel covers also keep reels clean and free from gunk. Less dirt and muck grime up your reels. On one hand, my Shimano Curado 100D reels were in perfect condition and I really didn’t need to sell them. But one cast of my friend’s Shimano Curado 200 E7 caused me to list my reels later that day. I'll bet you are curious…no, I didn’t sell my reel covers with the reels. The fit snuggly on my reels. They only cost a few bucks and are worth it! Try using http://www.fishingreels4less.com
