The finish on the Ocean and the Medalist are both in pretty good condition, so I wasn't really trying to 'strip' them and re-finish, really just completely clean and re-grease/oil. The L.L. Bean appears to have most of the finish off. If possible, I'd like to get off the rest of the spotty finish that is still on it and maybe put a new coat of finish on it after cleaning it really well. The thing about the Bean is that there are very few screws, so taking it completely apart will be difficult.

Has anyone had any experiences with the Quantum Red Hot reel products? I've read mixed reviews and would like to hear some more opinions.
