Rarenium C3000 salt prep

In comes an underrated reel for salt prep, the super light and ultra reliable Rarenium series. Apart from salt prep, the owner wants to up the drag on this for salt water species fight. So here goes.

Trusty light but strong reel.

Standard knob bearings in the enclosed area and teflon bushing towards the regularly exposed area. Bearings are fine and just need a new pack of marine grease. Additional grease packed around the teflon bushing grease to act as a redundant seal.

Even though it's shielded in the knob, additional marine grease packed in and around the screw for that added protection.

Stock drag's are fine but starting to dry up. Custom cut carbon sheets to match stock dimensions.

Drag system degreased before applying a new layer of drag grease.

Line laying roller system's dry but smooth. New packing of marine grease to fill all available space within the system.

Stock factory grease application isn't something to die for, everything looks new too.

A new and generous layer of Shimano's heavy grease covered all internal surfaces to displace water.

Old drags out, sturdier carbon drags in. Newly salt prep ready for small reef or pelagic species battle.

A rather straight forward salt prep for a trusty reel. This reel will most likely be used to target small reef or pelagics and will probably serve the owner very well over long periods of time if it is well taken care off.
