Being on jetties I would still use a lanyard! And I would vote against scissors and towards pliers. I'm not sure what your main catch is but there is nothing worse than digging a stinger out of a kingfish or a Sabiki out of a pinfish without pliers!

Probably just some WD 40 but I've heard that it can put off fish when handling bait and such. I wonder if just a light spray after a good wipe down on the MT would be enough to transfer on to the bait though
Wait, I'm confused. Why does Zoid carry a screwdriver salt fishing?

I know the bail-less penn 706z reels always need adjusting. They are absolute tanks though, they are loud, ugly, heavy, and simple. But the only maitenece we've ever done was tighten the bail screw and replace the drag washers once every 5 years

My freshwater reels almost never get oiled. Especially the Shimano Stradics. They are built sealed so I'm not worried about themThe Salsmurfer reels are a WHOLE different ball game. I'd say the drags get done pretty often, but oiling and greasing is a monthly chore. Salsmurfer eats stainless like it's rebar

Salsmurfer eats stainless like it's rebarJust had me a bowl of rebar this morning I feel you though, I have a basic Penn Fierce as I don't get out there very much, probably 5 times a year. But you have me ready to go oil it now. My freshwater is a Shimano Sahara, my first higher quality reel, and I love it.

My freshwater is a Shimano Sahara, my first higher quality reel, and I love it.I've always wanted a Sahara for a travel reel.All my freshwater spinning reels are the Shimano Stradic CI4+ models.They are 275 a peice, just way to much to trust everyone when your camping or leaving in a truck bed! I've never owned a fierce penn either, all the salsmurfer rods are either 550s, spinfisher Vs, or the original 706z and 704s.Unless we head out on the boat, in which case it's Penn Internationals and Senators

My bike was the most I've ever spent on myself, fishing is more of my wind-down at the end of the day. Gimme an Ugly Stik and any half decent spinning reel and you won't hear a complaint out of me. Bikes are a different story, unfortunately due to my size and riding style, cheaper parts tend not to live long lives under my command.

For me it's the opposite. I'm always battling myself too. "I spent 275 bucks on a reel, I can't destroy it"But on the other hand "it costs so much because it's built to handle abuse" I guess bikes kinda HAVE to be used though
