Concerning your spinning reel. If it is pretty old, or you have used it alot I'd tear it down, clean and lube it. If it was hard to reel before lubing it, it probably needs a good cleaning too. I'd leave the Chronarch alone until a little later in the year. Give it a tune up right before you start chasing summers. Remember a little goes along way with oiling your reels. Too much can be as bad as not enough.
