Being one that lives by the "If it works, don't F#$% with it " train of thought I find myself wondering just how often I should actually turn those gold beauties over for service. I only use 'em aprox. 10-12 times each season and try to keep them looking like new. Also, how often should the drag washers be replaced if the reels are stored in free spool when not in use? (30TW/30VSW) Thanks...

That depends on how long you want them to last.(Every Season)
