DanRob 1 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hi Team, I was replacing my line on my Saragosa 10000 and discovered some pitted white corrosion that occurred under the spool. does anyone have a solution. To manage this corrosion and pitting. As it is a bit rough and don’t want to damage any new line. I thought sand and maybe a bit of wax? I don’t want to replace the line until I work out what to do with the pitting. And it’s a good reel so would be a shame to send it to retirement! Link to post Share on other sites
savit 256 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Why retire reel? May be just call local tackle stores or directly Shimano and ask re spool replacement cost (in case that cannot be repaired)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
noelm 803 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Very common, won't hurt, but it will get worse, new spool or some kind if coating to keep it at a minimum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanRob 1 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Thanks, that is what I was thinking. Clean it up and coat with something. I was wondering what coating people would use? Link to post Share on other sites
flatheadluke 616 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 That’s pretty poor to happen on an expensive reel like that. Should not happen - I’d complain to Shimano and ask for a full credit towards a new Shimano reel that hasn’t got the same crappy components. Link to post Share on other sites
frankS 981 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Take the spool off reel take all line from spool, get alfoil and Coca Cola coat alfoil with coke and lightly rub into spool, this will clean off salt build up, flush off with warm clear water alloy to dry then re-spool with fresh line. To prevent it happening again always run line through fingers OR cloth as you spool on for last time during session. Then flush reel off with fresh water once home. Tighten drag before hosing reel, don't use a lot of pressure. Frank 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rob81 57 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 wd40 removes corrosion as well. You can soak the section in and then get a toothbrush to brush it off. Link to post Share on other sites
