Avets & Saltists both need to be cleaned & lubed inside regularly. Greasing bearings will cut way back on their regular servicing, but other internal parts (drag washers, clickers, anti reverse, etc) will need to be serviced. Also, greased bearings cuts down on casting distance. Removing shields, cleaning, oiling and replacing the shields on spool bearings is a great way to add distance to your casts.
