Just got a reel that had a cork disc for the drag system. What is the best way to maintain that disc or do I need to do anything at all?

Thanks!
Todd

Use a little bit of neatsfoot oil. Some manufacturers actually sell lube for their reels that includes some graphite mixed with the neatsfoot oil. Ted Juracsik from Tibor Reels (some of the best big game reels made) suggests just a little wd-40. Don't clean it with any solvents either as that can breakdown the adhesive in the cork. Hope this helps!
