All fisherman worth their salt, own nearly a dozen reels and should keep them new? I’ve recently purchased eight new Shimano Curado 200 E7 reels. Shimano's New edition for 2009. This high tech reel is a work of art. While my reels sit in the rod locker they have covers on them.

Prior to making my investment in eight spanking brand new reels….I need more money. Every red blooded american bass fisherman knows what to do…trading up your used fishing gear! I sold several of my Shimano Curado 100D reels on EBAY and the others on fishing swap boards. I was able to sell these for a little less than I paid for them three years ago. They looked new because I used fishing reel covers.

I'm always going fishing with my friends or relatives in their boats. Between putting them in and out of the car, rod lockers, huge waves, and deck rash…a reel cover is the only way to prevent scratches. Of course, I provided proper maintenance and cleaning to the reels on an annual basis. Shimano and Bass Pro Shops offer reel covers. They are a strecthy/rubbery type material. They are a perfect fit for most reels. Reels that don't have covers end up looking older than they are? They end up with deck rash from rubbing on the carpet and against other rods and reels.

Conser this low cost invesment in reel covers a wise move like insurance. Reel covers not only keep the reel cosmetically looking better, they also keep it working better. Less filth and dirt on your fishing reels. On one hand, my Shimano Curado 100D reels were in perfect condition and I really didn’t need to sell them. But one cast of my friend’s Shimano Curado 200 E7 caused me to list my reels later that day. If you are wondering….no, I didn’t sell my reel covers with the reels. The covers are made tightly for the reels. They are pretty cheap and it's a smart buy! Try using http://www.fishingreels4less.com
