Croix Avid Spinning Rod is built for one thingcontrol under pressure

They really don't give more than the merest hint of how it was

I can easily remove the side plates on the Penn Slammer and Authority reels I fish with - not so easy on any Shimano I have come across (doable though) - but apart from the odd lets have a look at whats going on inside and quickly close it back up in case something important springs/jumps out!, to be perfectly honest I leave these parts on a spinning reel alone and simply do what I do before I fish with a new reel and again if/when it might sound a little raspy (check this blog post out for these details)
