On OKUMA...I just found out (the hard way)...moisture can ruin the spring on the button in the line counter box. The button won't pop back out, I guess. $8.95 to fix...so, that isn't too bad.

Fishthrills1:
You might consider doing your own maintenance after reviewing the following reference: http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/articles/T139.htm
I'd also recommend you review the rod and reel section of Bass Fishing at: http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboard/rods_reels/index.html
Taking a Daiwa linecounter apart should not throw off their accuracy. There is a bevel gear that runs the counter. You pretty much have to take them apart to lube them. I also swapped the drags out on all of my 47LC's which smoothed them out a bit.
