Yet another move closer to Ahab!!!
Any of you have any good links on a basic baitcaster cleaning, what im looking to do is remove the side with the cast control dials and the spool . Is this even possible to do without a full disassembly? I have mainly Left handed throw away reels (Bill Dance Combo Reel, Daiwa Procaster PT100, BPS Extreme, and a Cabela's Fish Eagle) but i still want to take care of em.
 
Do not fully disassemble those reels as they are a pain in the a$$ to re-assemble.

Go to the manufactures websites, most have a simple guide to cleaning and lubrication. The trick is to NOT put too much oil / grease as it will just foiul things up.
