Cleaning Chemicals For After Saltwater Fishing

[Mr. NiceGuy]

Break free is probably one of the best things you can spray on your mirage drive. Why do you say it’s not for fishing gear?

My meaning was for wiping down reels & poles. I have not tried any petroleum based oil products near my Spectre. Maybe it's OK, but I just don't know.

Yes, Break Free seems like it would be good for anyplace we use oil.

Ask for advice at a store that sells fishing gear.

not recommended by manufacturer. youtube video from Hobie is a good refresher for mirage drive maintenance, but it specifically says to keep such products from the spectra line, pretty much a no brainer. I am sure you guys have seen the small lube bottle they sell with pin needle applicator? expensive, relatively speaking. but, small piece of insurance for extending major service intervals.
