Does anyone have any good tutorials/videos on how to keep them clean?  I have a Matrix SE for about 3 yrs now, and I have been noticing the take on my drifts are not as quick as they used to be.  Not sure if its the bearings or just the tension screw?  

 

I have never dropped it, take very good care and keep the neoprene sleeve on it always when I'm not using it or laying it down on shore etc.

 

I have tried to loosen it to the point of where its almost coming out, and still not great or I was too paranoid to try it like that on the water.  Does anyone have tips/suggestions on Matrix reels on the "sweet spot" for the right adjustments?  I'm almost at the point of just buying a new pin.

 

Appreciate the help.

 

Thanks,
