I was told Shimano is the only spinning reel under $100 whose bearings won't rust - is this true? 2024
Ohioguy25 reply :
I had owner a Pflueger Summit, Cabela's house model for about a year when I noticed it started sticking mid-summer. It was a gritty friction I felt when reeling in. I took it in to a local specialty shop who upon taking it apart discovered the barrings and anti-reverse mechanism had rusted and that the replacement parts/service would cost $44. For a $60 reel I obviously decided to forgo this and replace it. I bought the $100 Abu Garcia Revo X from Field and Stream, however the guy at the specialty shop warned me that at the price point I was shopping at Shimano was the only reel I would not run into the same rust problem with. Is this true?

I thought the same. He said Shimano uses anti rust barrings (ARB) This much I was able to confirm is true, but I agree with your sentiment. A $100 reel should especially be good for at LEAST a year of freshwater use.

As far as having a reel you never have to "do anything with," that's up to you. It's a machine and will break down eventually. It's up to you as to whether you want to get two seasons or two decades of use out of something.

I’ve got 6 Presidents that have been in use between the last 2-6 years of use basically every weekend and have no issues with them; especially rust.
One was even even outside in the winter I lost ice fishing and didn’t find until the spring thaw. I obviously had to disassemble that one and clean but paying Shimano prices for especially a spinning reel is a waste in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

You're Revo X should do just fine for you. If reel bearings rust in a year you got a bad one. I have a 10 year old Abu Cardinal that was maybe $50 new and it works as good as ever.

Bottom line, no reel bearings will rust if you take proper care and maintain it. Oil it two or three times a season, especially if it gets extremely wet in rain or goes for a dunk in the lake. I've got $20 reels that I've had since I was 5 that feel like new because they've been maintained.

Did it get dunked? Maybe a number or times? Stored outside in a shed or something like that? To get rust you have to have water, either in vapor or liquid form. Reels don't get water inside as a general occurrence, but this one obviously did. I think your expectations are too high. To get you a reel that never needs attention and could take all kinds of mistreatment would have to be made of "unobtainium" and would cost a fortune.
It really doesn't take much to make a reel last a very long time. A few drops of oil, proper storage, don't dunk it, common sense stuff. I still have reels from the 50's that my dad gave me, and they still work as well as ever. Reels are pretty intricate devices. Which is why they are among the things I will never loan to anyone.

I missed the "dropped in the water a few times" comment. Reels don't like to be dropped in the water. Like non-water resistant watches. And firearms. Outboard motors. Most machines. Especially inexpensive ones. If you get a new reel, and drop it in the water, take the cover off to expose the inside and let it dry in a dry environment until you use it again. And try not to drop it in the water again. Put a few drops of oil in the obvious places, like bearings, anything that moves or spins. Keep track of the screws; you need them.
It was not a "bad one." It wasn't treated right and it wasn't maintained right.

Getting wet and dunking are two different things. When I fished in Canada I often left my outfits in the boat overnight and they got rained on. But since the reels were maintained properly, none malfunctioned. With all the advice you've been getting it appears you have two choices. Keep dunking them and not maintaining them and get the same results, or treat them better and give them a little oil and maintenance now and then and have them last forever. Your choice.
"Shielded" and "water resistant" and "corrosion resistant" don't mean the same thing as "waterproof" and "corrosion proof."
FishTank reply :
I am going to take a guess and say that the guy at the store likes Shimano and didn't know that it had stainless steel ball bearings which is corrosion resistant but not rust proof. Shimano claims to have ARB, SARB, and RSARB = Anti rust bearing, Shielded anti rust bearing, and removable shield anti rust bearing.
Here is a little info and more than you will ever need to know about bearings and corrosion.
http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=13.0
Bottom line, if you get water inside a bearing and don't do proper maintenance, in time, it's toast.
craww reply :
If you submerge a spinning reel, especially “a few times” and never have it serviced its not the reels fault.
ALL reels will get water in them when submerged. Pretty much all grease loses tackiness when exposed to water. Some reels are sealed better, some drain,dry, evaporate a little better-(baitcasters often have designed drain holes) or sometimes for whatever reason water doesnt permeate down into everything. Not all bodies of water are as bad. One guys water may have a lot less silt, sand, alkaline, whatever than the other guys. We’ve all dropped a reel and kept on fishing, but its a roll of the dice not cleaning and relubing.
I dont think you’ll have any better luck until you change some habits. Heck if anything- The revo spinning reels are actually known for the anti reverse clutches rusting...I know this for a fact, as Ive replaced two after they were dunked. The pins on the clutch assembly are much smaller than a daiwa for example and the clutch sits flush on top of a bearing which keeps water out of the gearbox and things in alignment. Problem is, the water has nowhere to go. Its a water trap.
Mobasser reply :
I think this guy is completely wrong? All those reels are good. And everyone of them , regardless of brand, needs routine maintenance - oil on bearings to keep running smooth

I fish the same rivers you do given your profile info and my Daiwa reels have gone under water more times than I can to admit and have not seen a bearing failure yet (they do get serviced). I have also never had bearings rust in my Shimanos either. I am curious what shop told you that though?

It's funny because I posted a thread in the past month or two about recent experiences with different spinning reels in extreme wet conditions. Of the several different brands I mentioned, the Pfluegers held up best in sustained heavy rain conditions.
My post was referring to problems likely caused by wet drag washers, but none of the reels sustained apparent bearing damage. Note that I maintain my own spinning reels, but only minimally. I clean and oil spindle and handle innards...little else. I do it gernally twice a year and after significant rain/dunking.

I'm not privy to every element of every reel but as far as I'm concerned "ARB" is marketing jargon for a slightly higher quality bearing. There are grades of SS and assume this is the difference. I can't see a bearing company making anything to intentionally rust or worse yet a prominent reel company sourcing them. The OP is a clear case of neglect. Always makes sure all your tackle: rods, reels, baits, hooks, tools... are dry before storage and keep each clean and properly lubricated.
As brand vs brand spinning reels, Shimano's heavy duty, self contained design is unique and worth points when comparing apples to apples.

Absolutely not! Steel is not steel. There are a ton of different steels such as stainless steel, tool steel, carbon steel, etc. These categories all vary based on there compositions. For example, stainless steel is a classification of steel so there are a multitude of different stainless steels that will have much differing performance in corrosion resistance that are all "stainless steel".
