    ok ill give u a tip. dont use wd40 !!! it drives out moisture and will kill the bearings in your reel. after each use take your reel off, and soak it in a bucket of fresh water for 10mins. give it a spin underwater to really clean it out. squirt down your rod and wipe it clean. you should also use special grease to put in your reel to keep the bearings working. you can buy at nearly every tackle store.

    dont use wd40 =)
