[cool][#0000ff]A little water in a fly reel usually does not mess it up much. However, there are a lot of spinning reels that have close tolerances with line spools, etc., and are adversely affected by getting water in the works. Not good to dip them in the drink.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I can't believe nobody has suggested taking the rod apart on longer rods if you have to restring them. On the one or two occasions I have had to change spools or otherwise restring a rod, that is what I do. Of course, if you have a long one piece rod, that makes a difference.[/#0000ff]
