How many of you guys do it? I have done it with all my carp fishing stuff and a bunch of others. Just wondering if many bass fisherman or other fisherman super tune. Thanks

On an annual basis..... I expect perfection from my equipment so I give it the absolute best care possible. Complete tear down, no 2 parts touching. Clean, lubricate, re-assemble and test. I rarely have any equipment issues, never had a failure.
With that said, you gotta start out with the best stuff you can afford.......

I don't bass fish, not in fresh water, but all reels are cleaned and tuned, more salt water here, so I looking for some distance most of the time.

Super tuning consist of replacing bearings and polishing all parts that could cause friction

i'de like to buy some of your used reels. :)

being around a bunch of bass fishermen all of my life i know of few that go to that extreme on their tackle.

some went tru a phase of doing that when ambassuduer reels were the mainstay, but the new generation of reels were so much smoother that that was seen as wasted effort.

Today even el cheapos are smoother that those old reels.
