Ok I have a new Sonora 5 shielded bearing reel
today we went fishing I asked my friend to hold the reel while I fixed the hook next thing I know the rod is floating about 15 feet down river....
so I have two questions
can reels get wet? I know this sounds stupid since its fishing and water but is it ok to get the reel wet?
its all aluminum so I know it wont rust, but will it affect performance or the bearings?
also what lube can I buy that's safe for the fishies and does a good job at making the reel smooth?
